Prioritize Hazardous Jobs
Once you have identified tasks you believe might be hazardous, you need to determine
which tasks:
• Are most likely to cause injury or illness
• Will cause the most severe injury or illness
Analyze the "Worst First"
The hazards presenting the most risk need to be analyzed first. To determine risk
objectively, use a structured method to prioritize hazards.
Another Way to Prioritize Jobs
To help prioritize jobs in your workplace, you might use a matrix like the one shown
below.
Use the risk matrix below to prioritize the four jobs listed in the previous
exercise. (1=lowest priority, 9=highest priority)
