Dynamic Risk Assessment/Hazard ID

A dynamic risk assessment can help employees make decisions when they encounter situations or environments that may be unsafe.  This assessment is a field practice for observing hazards, assessing risk, and analyzing the environment. Dynamic risks assessments identify hazards in the field and allow employees to make quick, but informed, decisions to remove them and reduce the risks to safety.
