Document background
The Hazard Identification Form is a critical workplace safety document required under Swiss occupational safety regulations. It serves as a fundamental tool for identifying, assessing, and controlling workplace hazards in compliance with the Federal Act on Accident Insurance (UVG) and related ordinances. This document should be implemented whenever new processes are introduced, existing processes are modified, or during regular safety reviews as mandated by Swiss law. The form captures essential information about potential hazards, risk levels, control measures, and responsible parties, creating a documented trail of safety management efforts. It plays a crucial role in demonstrating compliance with Swiss safety regulations while providing a practical framework for maintaining workplace safety standards. Regular updates and reviews of the Hazard Identification Form are necessary to ensure continued effectiveness and compliance with evolving safety requirements.
