A significant hazard is a hazard that could cause:
Serious harm (can be an illness or injury) including death, amputation, fractures or serious burns; or Harm that occurs when someone is repeatedly exposed to a hazard, or exposed to high-levels of a hazard, such as noise or chemical exposure; or Harm that isn't detectable until a long time after exposure.
Proactively identifying significant hazards on a regular basis.
Ways of identifying significant hazards includes thinking about hazards in particular work areas, specific tasks and processes, even before you start work. This process must be ongoing, as a change of any sort on your site can mean a new hazard is created.
