# Hazard Identification & OH&S Risk Register

> ISO 45001:2018 (OH&S) – cl.6.1.2. Worker safety analog of the risk
> register: hazards identified proactively, risk assessed, controls
> follow the hierarchy of controls (eliminate first, PPE last).

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Document ID | DOC-OHS-010 |
| Consultation | Workers consulted – date/rep |
| Review | Annual + after incident |

## 1. Hazard register

| ID | Work activity | Hazard | Potential harm | Who at risk | Existing controls | L | S | Risk | Level |
|----|---------------|--------|----------------|-------------|-------------------|---|---|------|-------|
| H-01 | Machine operation | Unguarded moving parts | Amputation | Operators | Guard + E-stop | 1 | 5 | 5 | High |
| H-02 | Warehouse | Forklift/pedestrian mix | Struck-by | All in area | Segregated walkways | 2 | 4 | 8 | High |
| H-03 | Office | Display screen posture | MSD | Desk workers | Ergonomic assessment | 3 | 2 | 6 | Med |
| H-04 | Maintenance | Work at height | Fall | Maintenance | Permit + harness | 1 | 5 | 5 | High |
| H-05 | Lab | Chemical exposure | Respiratory | Lab staff | Fume hood, SDS | 2 | 3 | 6 | Med |

## 2. Hierarchy of controls (required order)

For each uncontrolled/reduced risk, apply in order – document why
higher levels are not feasible before using lower ones:

1. **Eliminate** the hazard
2. **Substitute** with less hazardous
3. **Engineering controls** (guards, ventilation, isolation)
4. **Administrative controls** (procedures, training, permits)
5. **PPE** (last resort, never sole control for high risk)

| Hazard | Planned control (highest feasible level) | Residual | Owner | Due |
|--------|-------------------------------------------|----------|-------|-----|
| H-01 | Engineering: interlocked guard | 2 | @name | |
| H-02 | Engineering: barrier + Admin: traffic plan | 3 | @name | |

## 3. Incident/near-miss record (feeds register)

| ID | Date | Type | Description | Injury? | Investigation | Corrective action |
|----|------|------|-------------|---------|---------------|-------------------|
| INC-01 | | near-miss / first aid / LTI | | | | |

## 4. Worker participation record (cl.5.4)

- Consultation meetings, safety committee, feedback channels –
  ISO 45001 explicitly requires worker participation, not just
  management decision.
