BSB41415: Awesome Office Hazard Identification Form

This assignment presents a completed hazard identification form for an office environment, identifying various hazards and proposing corresponding risk reduction measures. The form covers different areas within the office, including the kitchen entrance, walkways, emergency exits, storage areas, and the manager's room. Specific hazards identified include blocked entrances, uneven floors, misplaced objects, hanging trays, scattered furniture, loose ceiling plates, exposed electrical wires, improperly placed signboards, broken doors, and metal ladders. For each hazard, the form outlines the associated risks, the individuals or objects at risk, and recommended actions to mitigate the potential harm. The assessment checklist confirms that the form adheres to the requirements of defining a specific work area, identifying at least ten hazards, and providing specific answers for each hazard.
