Hazard identification is one of the most crucial steps in preventing workplace accidents. Statistics tell the story: ⚠️ In 2022, nearly 40% of all workplace injuries in Canada occurred due to a failure to properly assess hazards in industrial settings (Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety). ⚠️ Across industries, a robust hazard assessment process can reduce the risk of injury by up to 50% (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). Hazards aren't just large-scale equipment failures — they can be small, everyday things, such as: slips and trips from uneven flooring, chemical exposure from improper storage, or incorrect use of personal protective equipment, for example. What you can do: ▶ Conduct a hazard assessment before starting a task and update it if the task changes. ▶ If you see a hazard, conduct a hazard identification card and implement proper mitigation. ▶ Provide continuous training for your team on hazard identification. ▶ Conduct regular workplace inspections and safety audits. ▶ Encourage open communication and safety-focused culture so employees feel empowered to report potential hazards. A safer workplace starts with awareness. Proactive hazard management is essential for maintaining safe and compliant industrial operations.

Slips, trips, and falls accounted for 18.4% of lost-time injury claims in Alberta for 2022. To help prevent these incidents, consider the following best practices: 📝 Clear work areas: Keep walkways, platforms, and workspaces free of cables, hoses, and debris. 📝 Maintain equipment: Regularly inspect and repair equipment to prevent leaks that create slippery surfaces. 📝 Use proper footwear: Ensure workers wear slip-resistant boots suited for rough terrain. 📝 Harnesses and fall protection: Use safety harnesses when working at heights to prevent falls. 📝 Improve visibility: Install adequate lighting in work areas, especially in remote or low-light locations. 📝 Training: Provide training on ladder safety, proper climbing techniques, and maintaining three points of contact. 📝 Routine inspections: Frequently check the condition of walkways, stairs, and work surfaces for hazards. 📝 Hazard assessments: Conduct a hazard assessment before starting tasks. Look for specific slips, trips and fall hazards and mitigate before starting work. Implementing these measures can reduce slip, trip, and fall risks on your worksite. #hazards #slipstripsfalls #workplacesafety #hazardassessment #injuries #alberta Source: WCB Alberta Annual Report 2022 and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Statistics.
