Hazard Communication Checklist
The Hazard Communication Checklist is a tool used to identify and assess hazards in the workplace. It covers a wide range of potential hazards, such as hazardous chemicals, hazardous materials, hazardous processes, and hazardous equipment. The checklist includes questions about the nature of the hazard, its potential consequences, and the strategies and measures that can be taken to prevent or reduce the risks associated with the hazard. The checklist also requires the employer to document the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other safety procedures related to the hazard. The Hazard Communication Checklist helps employers to identify and manage risks in the workplace, and ensures that employees are aware of the potential risks associated with their activities.
