@safetyfirst.hse: In health and safety, HIRA stands for Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment. It is a systematic process used to identify workplace hazards, assess the risks they pose, and implement controls to reduce or eliminate those risks before work begins. Hazard Identification means finding anything that could cause harm, such as working at height, electrical hazards, moving machinery, chemicals, or poor housekeeping. Risk Assessment means evaluating: How likely the hazard is to cause harm. How severe the consequences could be. What control measures are needed to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. For example, if workers are using scaffolding: Hazard: Falling from height. Risk: Serious injury or death. Control measures: Inspect the scaffold, install guardrails, use a full-body harness with a lifeline where required, ensure workers are trained, and maintain good housekeeping. HIRA is an essential safety tool that helps prevent accidents, injuries, and property damage by identifying hazards and controlling risks before work starts. #safetyfirst #safetyfirsthse #hazardsidentification #riskassessment #fyp
