ABSTRACT
Hazard analysis is a technique used to examine the workplace for hazards with the potential to cause accidents. The information obtained by the hazard analysis process provides the foundation for making decisions upon which jobs should be altered in order for the worker to perform the work safely and expeditiously. In addition, this process allows workers to become more involved in their own destiny. For some time, involvement has been recognized as a key motivator of people. This is also a positive mechanism in fostering labor/management cooperation. This is especially true if everyone in the workplace is continuously looking for potential hazards that can result in injury, illness, or even death.
