  • Review of your working environment and layout
  • Identification of physical, chemical, and human-related hazards

  • Annually, as a best practice
  • After an incident or near miss
  • If there’s been a change in equipment, processes, or staff
  • When moving premises or expanding operations
  • In response to updated guidance or legislation
