The first step to emergency preparedness
and maintaining a safe workplace is defining and analyzing hazards.
Although all hazards should be addressed, resource limitations usually
do not allow this to happen at one time. Risk assessment can be
used to establish priorities so that the most dangerous situations are
addressed first and those least likely to occur and least likely to cause
major problems can be considered later.
This training package was developed to assist instructors as they (1)
determine how to use risk assessment to improve safety preparedness and
(2) present risk assessment concepts and tools to trainees. The
concepts and tools presented here can be applied to any mine hazard.
