How to Create and Process a Hazard Before creating or updating an existing hazard, ensure all of your organization's mandatory hazard settings (hazard categories) are configured in the hazard settings under the admin menu. For more details check the How to Manage the Hazard Settings article. 

.

1. Navigate to the Hazards page in the Safety Hub menu. 

2. To create a new hazard click New Hazard at the top right corner. 

3. For each hazard, you will fill out the following details, and select the location: 

4. Document the operating environment. 

5. After saving the basic hazard information you should add hazard consequences. A hazard could have multiple consequences. 

6. For each consequence, you need to list the impacted operation, description, and risk score. 

7. If the selected risk score is above the acceptable risk score of your organization the following message will appear next to the risk matrix. Choosing a score that is above the acceptable risk score will notify the impacted operation approver and will start the hazard consequences score approval process.
   
   

8. The assigned user will get an email notification that there is a new consequence impacting their operation. In addition, they will see a new task on their home page.  

9. Clicking on the task will take the assigned user to the relevant consequence to approve or decline the risk score. 

10. If the risk score is acceptable the assigned user can approve it and complete the consequence process. If the risk score is unacceptable the user will decline the score and mitigation needs to be added. 

11. Mitigation should be added with a description and the new mitigated risk score. 

12. After the mitigation has been added, a mitigation assignee can be added to implement the mitigation. There could be one assignee or multiple assignees. You can assign a due date and a description of the task to be completed.
    
    

13. Upon assignment the user will get an email and a task will appear on his home page. 

14. When a user clicks on the task on their home page they will be moved to the mitigation section where they can indicate the mitigation was implemented. 

15. Once the mitigation was marked as implemented the system will record when it was marked as implemented. 

16. If the mitigation has not been implemented the hazard manager can send the assigned user an email reminder.

17. Once all mitigations are implemented the system will automatically send the consequence for reevaluation with the user who declined the initial risk score.

18. Once all consequences have been processed, the hazard will have a visible final risk score. 

19. You can access additional hazard features by clicking the three dots on the right hand of the hazard summary:

1. Change Log - View the history of changes for the hazard.

2. Create Bulletin - Create a bulletin that prepopulates with the hazard information to notify members of your organization about the hazard.

3. Retire Hazard - If a hazard is no longer affecting your operation, you can retire it. When a hazard is retired, all tasks are marked as completed and any reminders are canceled. Forms can still be associated with a retired hazard.

20. You can view retired hazards by clicking on the Retired tab below the Search button.

21. If a previously retired hazard begins affecting your operation again, you can Reactivate it from the Retired tab
