General Hazard Identification Form

This general hazard identification form aims to assess potential risks (e.g noise, manual handling, excavation, etc.) observed within the work premises. Describe the nature of work and select the protective equipment available and needed to protect the employees from harm. Proceed with identifying the hazards present. Capture photo evidences of the situation or object that may cause serious problems to workers. You can assign an action to a supervisor for review and immediate resolution. Add other hazards which are not listed on the template. Complete the audit by stating some observations and rate the overall assessment if the work site is safe or not. Use SafetyCulture's Analytics feature to track improvements on safety. Analyze these data to construct better safety plans and strategies for your organization.

Machine Guarding Checklist

This template covers the pre-operation and post-operation checks. Pre-operation checks are conducted to evaluate the condition of machine guards and the protection and training of the workers. Begin with a description of the work, the names of employees and the type of guards to be inspected. Check the machine guards and determine if sufficient to prevent body parts from making contact with dangerous moving parts. Evaluate workers if they have sufficient knowledge of the machine, its operation including the guard types. Ensure that all workers are wearing appropriate protection and are following safe handling instructions when using machinery. The post-operation check is for determining if all machine guards are in good condition and that all incidents have been reported to the supervisor. Other observations, comments, and overall assessment are also noted.

If required, confirm permits and precautions for working at height, confined spaces, and hot work. Inspect lifting equipment per LOLER, ensure tags are in date, and verify PPE such as safety glasses, hearing protection, and safety footwear. Confirm documentation is complete, hazards are identified, and controls are effective.
