Leading Safety Risk Focus for Personal Safety

by Ross Gibson, from the Community

This personal safety risk focus checklist helps managers verify controls for defined hazards on site. Use it to confirm controls for noise exposure, working in extreme hot or cold conditions, working alone or in isolation, contractor management and psychosocial hazards. Follow the risk methodology to identify hazards, evaluate severity and likelihood, and verify existing controls. Record notes, add photos and create actions to address gaps, then capture team consultation and sign off.
