Project Title
Workplace Hazard Identification and Safety Awareness Program
Objective
To identify workplace hazards, assess risks, and develop a safety training program that improves employee awareness and reduces accidents. Hazard identification, risk assessment, PPE usage, emergency response, and safety culture are widely recognized as core occupational safety training areas. (OSHA)
Project Scope
Methodology
Phase 1: Workplace Inspection
-
Inspect offices, workshops, construction sites, or industrial areas.
-
Identify physical, chemical, electrical, fire, and ergonomic hazards.
-
Record findings using a safety checklist.
Phase 2: Risk Assessment
Create a risk matrix:
| Hazard |
Likelihood |
Severity |
Risk Level |
| Slippery Floor |
High |
Medium |
High |
| Exposed Wiring |
Medium |
High |
High |
| Poor Housekeeping |
