Ohu tuvastamise eesmärk on koostada ohtude, ohuolukordade ja/või ohusündmuste loetelu, mis kirjeldab võimalikke õnnetusjuhtumite stsenaariume selle kohta, kuidas ja millal ohuolukord võib põhjustada kahju.
In addition, reasonably foreseeable hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events not directly related to tasks shall be identified.
The objective of hazard identification is to produce a list of hazards, hazardous situations and/or hazardous events that allows the possible accident scenarios to be described in terms of how and when a hazardous situation can lead to harm.
Some examples of hazardous situations are: work near moving parts; exposure to ejection of parts.
