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

inspection using the checklist provided. Provide
feedback in the comments area to the respective
department head for corrective action. Page 2
