Using the first two columns as a guide,decide what actions or procedures are necessary to eliminate or minimize the risk. List the recommended safe operating procedures. Say exactly what needs to be done-such as"use two persons to lift". Avoid general statements such as,"be careful'. ROUX ASSOCIATES, INC.
