Hazard Assessment
What is a hazard?
• A hazard is something that has the potential
to cause harm to:
•
•
•
•
People
Property
Environment
Processes
• Where can we find hazards on campus?
EVERYWHERE!
Workplace Hazards
Five categories of workplace hazards are the
most common addressed at NC State:
• Slips, Trips, Falls
• Ergonomics
• Electrical
• Chemical
• Mechanical
Workplace Ergonomics
• Workstations Must be
Adapted to the User – Not the
Other Way Around
• 90-90-90 rule while sitting:
bend at the elbow, waist and
knee
• Walk around every 20Minutes
• EHS provides workplace
assessments if employees are
experiencing workplace
‘stresses’
Ergonomics
Proper Lifting activities
Avoid these activities
Lockout/Tagout: Controls of Hazardous Energy
Proper lockout/tagout (LOTO)
practices and procedures
safeguard workers from the
release of hazardous energy
NEVER remove someone else’s
lock and tag from any machine,
equipment or device
NEVER try to energize or start
any machine, equipment, or
device while it is locked or
tagged out
Mechanical Safety Awareness
• Be aware of potential danger points on
mechanical devices:
• machine guarding
• pinch points
• point of operation
• Do not remove safety
guards from
mechanical devices
HAZARD COMMUNICATION
In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities
and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. The
Hazard Communication Standard is maintained by OSHA.

presence of hazardous material. Without proper personal
protective apparel, do not enter the area.
