Hazard Management

Assess risk, control it, verify mitigation

Hazard identification with a 5x4 risk matrix, Hierarchy of Controls guidance, and structured status tracking from identification through mitigation and verification.

How it works

Any employee can report a hazard. The 5x4 risk matrix combines likelihood (Rare to Almost Certain) and severity (Low to Critical) to produce a computed risk score and visual risk level — Low, Medium, High, or Extreme. Extreme risks require immediate action and management notification.

The Hierarchy of Controls guides mitigation: eliminate first, substitute second, engineer third, administrative fourth, PPE as the last resort. Category-specific control recommendations are generated automatically based on hazard type. Hazards move Open → Under Review → Mitigated → Closed with full audit trail.

What you get

5x4 risk assessment matrix

Likelihood × severity with automatic risk score and color-coded risk level.

Hierarchy of Controls

Mitigation guidance from elimination down to PPE, with recommendations per hazard category.

5 hazard categories

Physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial — each with tailored controls.

Extreme-risk escalation

Automatic notifications to leadership when any hazard hits the Extreme risk level.

Assignment and target dates

Every hazard has an owner and a due date, with overdue flagging on the dashboard.

Common ways it's used

Running a proactive hazard identification program with employee participation
Mitigating high-risk hazards before they cause incidents
Documenting control measures for regulatory inspection evidence
Tracking mitigation effectiveness over time by category and area
