The key steps in the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) process begin with identifying potential hazards in the workplace, processes, or activities that could cause harm. Once hazards are identified, risks are assessed by evaluating their likelihood and severity to determine their overall risk level. Based on this assessment, risks are prioritized using tools like a risk matrix, allowing focus on the most critical issues. Control measures are then implemented to eliminate or reduce risks, such as engineering controls, administrative actions, or personal protective equipment (PPE). Finally, the HIRA process involves regular monitoring and review to ensure the effectiveness of control measures and to address changes in processes, environments, or regulations.
