Associating precautions with hazards

Associate precautions with hazards to prevent hazardous situations in the workplace that can potentially cause bodily harm or injury to your employees. For example, workers completing a job on the roof of a building are at risk of falling off the roof. Wearing a safety harness is a precaution the workers can take to protect them from a potential fall off the roof.

To associate precautions with hazards:

  1. Select Work > Permit to Work > Hazards.
  2. Select the hazard for which to associate precautions, and then click the Precautions tab.
  3. Click Add Precaution.
  4. Specify this information:
    Precaution
    Specify the safety measure to protect the workers from the hazard. The system automatically populates the precaution description and the Precaution Org.
    Sequence
    Specify the sequence in the workflow process at which the precaution should be taken to prevent the hazard if more than one precaution is in effect and you want to prioritize.
  5. Click Submit.
