What is HIRARC
HIRARC is a risk assessment framework used to identify, assess, and control hazards in the workplace. The acronym stands for Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control. HIRARC is commonly used in occupational health and safety to systematically evaluate potential hazards and implement control measures to prevent or mitigate harm to workers. Here's a brief overview of each step in the HIRARC process: Hazard Identification: This step involves identifying potential hazards in the workplace, such as machinery, chemicals, or environmental conditions that could cause harm to workers. Risk Assessment: Once the hazards are identified, the next step is to assess the risks associated with each hazard. This involves evaluating the likelihood and severity of harm that could result from the hazard. Risk Control: After the risks are assessed, the final step is to implement control measures to prevent or mitigate harm. This may involve implementing engineering controls (such as phy...
