Hazard Prevention and Control is a fundamental principle behind any occupational health and safety program. However, before hazards can be controlled, they must be identified or recognized, and then evaluated to determine the level of risk that they present. This process is known as Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment or the Recognition, Evaluation and Control of Hazards.
