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.
