This document discusses hazard identification and occupational safety and health. It defines a hazard as anything that could harm health or safety. There are three steps to managing health and safety at work: 1) spot hazards, 2) assess the risk of how likely and severely a hazard could harm someone, and 3) make changes to fix hazards. Some examples of workplace hazards provided include frayed electrical cords, boxes stacked in a way that could fall, and noisy machinery. The document emphasizes telling supervisors about hazards that can't be fixed oneself, especially serious ones, and always asking supervisors if unsure how to do something safely.
