Step-by-step explanation:

In order to regulate workplace hazards and excrete or decrease the jeopardy, you should consider the subsequent steps:

1. Recognize the hazard by carrying out a workplace risk evaluation;

2. Discover how workers might be in danger;

3. Estimate the hazards;

4. Document and analysis risks at least yearly, or earlier if something varies.

Answer 2

It is not possible to eliminate all hazards. Some occupations have inherent hazards that employees are aware of. Emergency drills should be conducted on a regular basis to insure that they are still adequate. On-site first aid is not a requirement. OSHA regs state that "in absence of an on site infirmary" an employer must have people with first aid training and supplies available.
