Hazard assessments | Part 4: Toolkit and Resources

Each project, workplace, and community is unique, so it's important to assess the needs and hazards in your own workplace. This can include:

Engaging with workers, audiences, and other stakeholders—paying attention to who isn't in the room as well
Recognizing that both accessibility and a safe and healthy workplace are human rights, and protected by law^{Footnote 128}
Staying up-to-date on community and environmental hazards that could enter the workplace
Continuing to assess, learn, implement, evaluate, and improve existing policies and practices, following fundamental prevention principles (See: 2.5 Prevention principles)
