| HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY |
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) in the construction industry, by RaMsProZone, is a systematic process to identify potential hazards, evaluate risks, and implement control measures to ensure worker safety and project efficiency. It involves analyzing tasks, equipment, and environments to prevent accidents, injuries, and delays. RaMsProZone emphasizes proactive risk management, compliance with safety regulations, and fostering a safety culture to protect workers and enhance productivity in construction projects.
