2009 Hazard Identification

Chevron 2005

Hazard Identification
To prevent incidents, workers must recognize and effectively identify the hazards associated with the tasks they perform. By focusing on the principles of hazard recognition we are not asking workers to memorize a list of thousands of possible hazards, but rather to understand broad categories of hazards.

What is a Hazard?
A condition or action that has the potential for an unplanned release of, or unwanted contact with an energy source that may result in harm or injury to people, property or the environment.

Hazard Identification Tool

This tool was developed to help us identify workplace hazards. The tool utilizes an energy source model to key users to the potential hazards present in the workplace. Each energy source should be evaluated for its presence and the potential for related hazards. Once the hazards are identified, they should be mitigated to prevent an incident from occurring. We will now work through each of the energy sources along with some examples.

Sound

Gravity
The force caused by the attraction of all other masses to the mass of the earth. Examples: a falling object, a collapsing roof, a body tripping or falling

Chevron 2005

Motion
The change in position of objects or substances. Examples: vehicle, vessel or equipment movement, flowing water, wind, body positioning: lifting, straining, or bending

Chevron 2005

Mechanical Energy
The energy of the components of a mechanical system, i.e. rotation, vibration, motion, etc. within otherwise stationary piece of equipment/machinery. Examples: rotating equipment, compressed springs, drive belts, conveyors, motors

Chevron 2005

Electrical
The presence and flow of an electric charge. Examples: power line, transformers, static charge, lightning, energized equipment, wiring, batteries

Chevron 2005

Pressure
Energy applied by a liquid or gas which has been compressed or is under a vacuum. Examples: pressure piping, compressed gas cylinders, control lines, vessels, tanks, hoses, pneumatic and hydraulic equipment

Temperature
The measurement of differences in the thermal energy of objects or the environment, which the human body senses as either heat or cold. Examples: open flame and ignition sources, hot or cold surface, liquids or gases, hot work, friction, general environmental conditions, steam, extreme and changing weather conditions
Chevron 2005 12

Chemical Energy
The energy present in chemicals that inherently, or through reaction, has the potential to create a physical or health hazards to people, equipment, or the environment. Examples: flammable vapors, reactive hazards, carcinogens or other toxic compounds, corrosives, pyrophorics, combustibles, inert gas, welding fumes, dusts

Chevron 2005

13

Biological Energy
Living organisms that can present a hazard. Examples: animals, bacteria, viruses, insects, blood-borne pathogens, improperly handled food, contaminated water

Chevron 2005

14

Radiation
The energy emitted from radioactive elements, or sources, and naturally occurring radioactive materials. Examples: lighting issues, welding arc, Xrays, solar rays, microwaves, naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) scale, or other nonionizing sources
Chevron 2005 15

Sound Energy
Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibratethe energy is transferred through the substance in waves. Examples: impact noise, vibration, highpressure relief, equipment noise
