6.1.2 Hazard identification and assessment of risks
Maintain ongoing, proactive hazard identification and assess OH&S risks and other risks to the system.
What this clause is about
Find hazards continually — routine and non-routine work, people, equipment, design, emergencies, changes — and assess the risks they create.
Questions auditors ask
- How are hazards identified before a task starts?
- Is your method for rating risk consistent?
- How do you capture hazards from changes and incidents?
Evidence to keep on a UAE site
- Risk register with ratings and controls
- Task risk assessments and RAMS/MSRA
- Inspection findings feeding the register
- Records of reviews after incidents or changes
