"SRA" Mission StatementThe SRA Team is responsible for ensuring that hazards are identified and eliminated through the creation of a Safety Risk Assessment. Every job/task, & workstation must have a SRA. SRA’s are designed to determine the possible hazards in the work place, and put controls in place, to prevent accidents/injuries from occurring . The SRA Team performs an assessment by reviewing the task, and interviewing affected employees. Additionally, proper training on SRA’s for employees is a must, and needs to be coordinated through your Manager/Supervisor. SRA’s are updated at the request of accident investigation team, MOC’s, concern reports, every three years, or every year for high risk task.
