Material Safety and Hazard Correction
Corrective actions or plans must be appropriate for the severity of the hazard. If an imminent hazard exists, work in the area should cease, and the appropriate supervisor be contacted. If the hazard cannot be immediately corrected without endangering employees or property, evacuate all unnecessary personnel from the area. Individuals entering the hazard area to correct the condition must have protective equipment and other necessary safeguards before addressing the situation. Specific procedures that can be used to correct hazards include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Stopping unsafe work practices and providing retraining on proper procedures before work resumes;
2. Reinforcing use of and providing personal protective equipment;
3. Lock-out/tag-out of unsafe equipment;
4. Isolating or barricading areas that have chemical spills or other hazards to deny access until appropriate correction is made;
5. Reporting problems or hazardous conditions to a supervisor.
Supervisors can seek assistance in developing appropriate corrective actions by submitting a Hazard Notification/Safety Recommendation Form to their Department Safety Committee, Safety Coordinator or liaison.
