Hazard Assessment

Evaluate every job function in every department

Determine if hazards are present

Check for hazards to eyes, respiratory system, head, feet, hands

Determine what PPE will protect against identified hazards

5

Regulatory Requirement

WAC 296-800-16005 WISHA requires you to perform “hazard

assessments” as part of your Personal Protective Equipment program

6

Three-Step Hazard Abatement

First determine if the task can be eliminated—if not, proceed as follows:

Step 1. Eliminate a spray-painting hazard through engineering; e.g., provide a paint-spray booth with ventilation.

Step 2. Establish administrative (safety) rules; e.g., only paint under certain conditions.

Step 3. Provide PPE; e.g., a respirator, gloves, coveralls, head covering, etc.
