  1. Introduction to the Risk / Hazard Identifier

  2. Did you ever have one of those days where you felt like everything was lined up against you? It could be the stars and planets. It could be your Human Factors. But how can you tell?

  3. You COULD think of 20 things that might be a problem to your day and work area. 2) Then you could DECIDE if any of these were really a problem or not. 3) Then you could go back and try to REMEMBER how many of the 20 you said were a problem. 4) Then you could VISUALIZE a chart from 0-20 and see where your answers fell. OR!!!!!!

  4. RISK / HAZARD IDENTIFIER • Use the Risk / Hazard Identifier to recognize known and potential Risk / Hazards in your work area. • It is designed to be an aid in situational assessments before you begin a job. • It is based on the P.E.A.R. model.

  5. What is the PEAR model? • People-Environment-Actions-Resources

  6. People Physical • Size • Gender • Age • Strength • The five senses Psychological • Knowledge • Experience • Training • Attitude • Emotional state Physiological • Health • Nutrition • Lifestyle • Alertness/fatigue • Chemical dependency Psychosocial • Interpersonal relations • Ability to communicate • Empathy • Leadership

  7. Environment Physical • Weather extremes • Location (in/out) • Workspace • Lighting • Sound levels • Housekeeping • Safety issues Organizational • Personnel • Supervision • Labor - management • Size of company • Profitability • Job security • Morale • Corporate culture • Safety culture

  8. Actions • What do you need to know? • What skills are necessary? • Steps to perform a task • Sequence of actions • Communication requirements • Information requirements • Inspection requirements • Certification requirements

  9. Resources • Technical documentation systems • Test equipment • Enough time • Enough people • Lifts, ladders, stands, seats • Materials • Portable lighting, heating, cooling • Training

  10. Before beginning a job, select a category and read the questions that identify some risks and/or hazards that you feel are problems for you on this job assignment. • Use the Risk/Hazard identifier to classify your answers. • If you answer NO to all the questions move the wheel of that category to show Zero in the center window. This means you can NOT identify any of the risks/hazards listed for that category.

  11. • If you answered YES to one question, move the wheel in that category to show (1:Green) in the center window. • Select another category, dial in the correct number (1,2,3,4,5) in the center window to reflect the number of questions you answered with a YES.

  12. Select another category, dial in the correct number (1,2,3,4,5) in the center window to reflect the number of questions you answered with a YES. • Do this for all four categories. • Add all four numbers in the window. Apply the sum to the scale in the center window, 0–20.

  13. Zero represents NO known risks/hazards and twenty represents the maximum amount of risks/hazards you have identified. • Assess your situation and try to lower the total number as much as possible by removing and/or minimizing those risks/hazards where you answered YES.

  14. It may not get you the day off with pay, but it will increase your awareness of the risks or hazards thereby reducing the likelihood for error.
