This document provides an overview of hazard recognition presented by Celestino Cole. It defines hazards and safety, outlines common workplace hazards like slips, trips, falls, tools, machines, ladders and scaffolds. It also discusses hazard controls and highlights specific hazards from cranes, forklifts, excavations, hazardous materials, compressed gas cylinders, and more. The document stresses that hazard recognition is everyone's responsibility and management must provide training to identify hazards.

8. What is a hazard
A hazard is anything that can cause harm to:
• People
• Environment
• Assets
• Business
Celestino Cole

9. What is safety
• Freedom from risk or harm

100% safely?
Celestino Cole

10. Unsafe conditions and acts
• Unsafe act is an action of one or
more employees that has the
potential to cause injury or death to
an employee, if not corrected.
• Unsafe condition is a hazardous
physical condition or circumstance
that has the potential to cause
injury or death to an employee, if
not corrected. An unsafe condition
is a situation, NOT directly caused
by the action of one or more
employees.
