Group #VII presented on hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control techniques. The presentation explained that hazard identification involves recognizing potential hazards, risk assessment analyzes the likelihood and impact of risks, and risk control develops measures to mitigate risks. It then described the HIRARC (Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control) method as a modified risk register tool used to systematically define risk levels by plotting likelihood against consequence severity on a risk matrix. Key components of a risk register like risk description, initial and residual risk scores, mitigation costs, and risk status were also outlined. Various hazard identification methods such as audits, safety data sheets, and discussion groups were listed before citing reference materials on risk assessment.

7. Hazard Identification
o Environments (light, noise, rain, heat, sun, cold)
o Substances (pesticides, fuels, dusts)
o Workplace layout (parlor design, cattle passes)
o Work organization (unnecessary manual handling)
o Equipment (ladders, squeeze chutes, crowd gates)
o Heights (roofs, vertical and horizontal silos, manure pits)
o Electricity (switches, cables, leads, power tools, connections)
