Part $2$: Identify and report construction hazards

You are working on the construction site shown in the photo above.

Find two $(2)$ hazards in the above photo. Remember: A hazard is a source or situation with the potential to cause harm.

You must then verbally report those $2$ hazards to an appropriate person on site who can take further action. Just telling a co$-$worker is not sufficient.

In your answer make sure to:

State the appropriate person you would report the hazards to on site; AND

Pretend you are talking to that person and clearly tell them about the $2$ hazards you have identified. Answers cannot be accepted if they are not provided in this role$-$play format.

Only hazards visible in the above photo can be accepted. Risks will not be accepted.

Remember $-$ while you should communicate hazards to your co$-$workers, you must state who you should report them to as part of the procedure for reporting hazards on the worksite.

Example

Below is an example of the related risk and control measure of an identified hazard. You cannot use the example, you must identify a risk related to the hazards visually depicted in the worksite shown in the above photo.

These questions are designed to see if you understand the difference between what is a HAZARD a RISK and a CONTROL.

Please take the time to read some of your course content and the Slides relevant to this question. Also please take the time to read the question carefully ensuring you are reviewing each dot points in the question prior to resubmitting. Not wearing PPE is not a HAZARD as a hazard is a situation or condition that has the potential to cause HARM. Eg: The sun is a HAZARD. Getting sunburnt is the RISK. Wearing sunscreen is the CONTROL. Not wearing sunscreen is not the reason you may get burnt....the SUN is$.$
