timely manner
Assemble the checklist, pen and paper, materials, and the team and begin

Get off the beaten path, look on, under, up and around, check for
hazards and prioritize them either high, medium, low…”A, B, C or
1-3
High hazards (A, 3) dealt with immediately, medium (B, 2) hazards
24 hours, (C, 1) low hazards 48 to 72 hours
