Hazard Identification and Control

Hazard Registers

bulletHazard Register – General. This generic document describes all potential hazards identified for any of our walks, and the options for controlling them, according to determined scale of hazard. (It is a table in our Health and Safety Manual)
bulletFrom this document we have created a Walkway specific template which is an amended Hazard Register – General. This becomes a Walkway Specific Hazard Register . This reflects the identified hazards on the specific walk, and how we have determined to manage them. It will be created at the commencement of the walkway Research and Planning stage.
bulletThis Walkway Specific Hazard Register will be reviewed annually, checking that hazard controls are in place and working, and that any new hazards are added and controlled.
bulletMonthly Walkway Specific Maintenance Reports are completed and presented to the Committee. Any hazard control issues are attended to and the report filed appropriately.
bulletIf necessary, the Hazard Registers will be updated.
bulletAdditionally, we have created a Workplace Hazard Register. This register reflects the identified hazards encountered during walkway creation, be it planning, construction or maintenance – and it shows how we have determined to manage those hazards. This document is for our volunteers.
bulletThe Walkway Specific Hazard Register and Workplace Hazard Register are used in conjunction at the commencement of work to be done by volunteers.
bulletWith contractors we share our Walkway Specific Hazard Register and Workplace Hazard Register and discuss control options. The contractor supplies their own Workplace Hazard Control Plan.
bulletIf necessary, the Hazard Registers will be updated.

These Registers can all be found in the Health and Safety Manual
