Reporting Hazards
Completion requirements
View
All hazards and risks should be noted on a checklist and reported to the employer, although hazards needing quick action should verbally be reported immediately. Health and safety legislation requires employees to report hazards to their supervisors.
The immediate hazard reporting process allows employees to report hazardous conditions or practices as they notice them. This procedure allows for prompt reporting and subsequent corrective action without waiting for the next round of regular inspections. Hazards can be reported verbally or by completing a simple form available at bulletin boards or other conspicuous places. The following is an example of such a form:
