Develop Hazard Prevention and Control Methods
Identify control options: Collect, organize, and review information with workers to determine what types of hazards may be present and which workers may be exposed or potentially exposed.
Employees can be helpful in identifying workplace hazards and related controls.
The information available in the workplace may include:
- Review OSHA standards and guidance, industry consensus standards, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) publications, manufacturers' literature, and engineering reports to identify potential control measures.
- Get input from workers who can suggest and evaluate solutions based on their knowledge.
- For complex hazards, consult with OSHA's On-site Consultants and workers' compensation insurers. (Note: Every state has its own workers' compensation insurers.)
