Labeling every risk makes it easier to understand which hazards require immediate attention and what safety measures are needed to get ahead of 3: Get Controls to Yes | Once risks are assessed, we implement controls that are designed to address the identified hazards effectively and efficiently. In this step, we build critical processes, adopt required equipment and roll out needed 4: Follow- Up | Safety is an around-the-clock job. We continuously monitor and refine our practices and processes, ensuring our controls remain effective via feedback and data.
