Hazard Management

Hazard identification and management is a legislative requirement in New Zealand and Australia. Employers must identify workplace hazards and manage the risk of employee exposure to those hazards. Employers need to systematically manage hazard identification, control and communication by doing the following:

• Find all hazards
• Put control measures in place (isolate, eliminate, minimise)
• Notify employees of workplace hazards.

The Hazard Register contains full details of workplace hazards including the areas affected and the safety resources allocated to manage them. You can group hazards by category (electrical) and type (cable).
