A hazard assessment is the process used to identify and control workplace hazards. Hazard management is an element of the Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSEMS), which is a framework of policy, procedure and program-level documents in support of safe working and learning activities at the University of Alberta. Hazard Assessments for all Student and Staff Laboratory areas are available to view - contact dentHSE@ualberta.ca to request a copy.
