Hazard & Risk Mitigation

The mitigation of hazards and risks is a primary aspect of all OHS professionals’ work. The proactive work of identification and profiling as well as the ongoing work of routine inspection, monitoring, and reporting all tie into an organization’s ability to effectively mitigate risk. In addition, an OHS professional working in the manufacturing sector should demonstrate understanding of and experience with manufacturing-specific risk and knowledge areas. It is important that the OHS professional understands the limits of their own knowledge, and understands when it is necessary to bring in additional expertise.
