QUARTERLY & ON-SITE HAZARD RECOGNITION EVALUATION
What is Hazard Recognition Evaluation? Comments:
Hazard Communication (HAZCOM)
This guide is a tool to encourage & educate
employees of Grand River Navigation to achieve &
maintain a safe & secure work environment. It is
not intended to be all inclusive of the many
regulations. Rather, it addresses practical safety &
security measures that can be recognized &
controlled by employees on a daily basis. It is also a
method of providing feedback on potential risks &
hazards in the work area.
Stop Work Authority
The Stop Work Authority Program is available to all
employees. Stop Work ensures all employees are
provided the responsibility & authority to stop work
practices in their immediate area that are
imminently dangerous.
Instructions: Simply conduct a walk around
inspection using the checklist provided. Provide
feedback in the comments area to the respective
department head for corrective action. Page 2
