Hazard Mitigation
Hazard mitigation is the practice of identifying, assessing, and reducing threats to people, assets, and the environment through preventive controls and emergency readiness. It matters in high-risk operations because it lowers incident likelihood and severity while supporting regulatory compliance and operational continuity.
A professional with strong hazard mitigation can:
Identify Site-specific Hazards Through Inspections, Job Hazard Analyses, And Incident Trend Reviews.
Quantify Risk Using Likelihood–severity Scoring And Prioritize Controls Using The Hierarchy Of Controls.
Implement And Verify Safeguards Such As Engineering Controls, PPE Requirements, Lockout/tagout, Or Containment Measures.
Develop And Drill Emergency Response Procedures, Including Spill Response, Evacuation Routes, And Communication Protocols.
