Most equipment has a specific way that it can be used safely.  Many times, the manufacturer will provide the information necessary to inform the user how to operate the equipment in a safe manner.  Where the manufacturer stops, most of the time, is in real-world application of the equipment.  Therefore, for every hazardous task involving equipment, it is important that a Job Hazard Assessment be accomplished; in this case it is known as Equipment Hazard Management.  The pre-made forms have good information on how to use the equipment in a safe manner in the real world.  The listed forms are not all-inclusive.  You may be using a piece of equipment that is listed, but the way it’s being used may require different steps to ensure safety.  Or you may have a piece of equipment that is not listed here.  For those cases, there is a blank form available below.  Please complete if necessary.  Whatever way that it is being accomplished, be sure that you have assessed the hazards of a piece of equipment and documented how you will mitigate those hazards.  For any questions, please contact our office.
