HAZARD IDENTIFICATION TOOLS, DETAILS AND EXAMPLES
SECTION A2.A. PRIMARY HAZARD IDENTIFICATION TOOLS
A2.A.1. The seven tools that follow are considered the “primary” or basic set of hazard ID tools to be
applied on a day-to-day basis in organizations at levels down to and including non-supervisory personnel.
These tools have been chosen for the following reasons:
A2.A.1.1. They are simple to use, requiring little if any training.
A2.A.1.2. They have been proven effective.
A2.A.1.3. Widespread application has demonstrated they can and will be used by operators and will
consistently be perceived as positive.
A2.A.1.4. As a group, they complement each other, blending the intuitive and experiential with the more
structured and rigorous.
A2.A.1.5. They are well supported with worksheets and job aids.
A2.A.1.6. Collectively they will support up to and including a deliberate level of risk management
application.
A2.A.2. In an organization with a mature ORM culture, the use of these tools by all personnel will be
regarded as the natural course of events. The cultural norm will be “Why would I even consider exposing
myself and others to the risks of this activity before I have identified the hazards involved using the best
procedures available?” The following pages describe each tool using a standard format with models and
examples.
