2023 HAZARD HUNT: MILESTONE 1 CRITERIA
HAZARD HUNT is an awareness campaign where our programs identify and report at least one hazard in their work area. The hazards can be environmental, health, or safety-related.
Build Your Team
One program may have several groups that conduct the Hazard Hunt in their respective departments. For example, K-BOSSS may have 3 teams that participate: Basic Initial Issue, Power House, and the Central, Receiving & Shipping Point. Each group must appoint a leader who is responsible for submitting the required milestone information. Make sure you include your program’s EHS point of contact.
There are two ways to register your team:
- If you have access to the SharePoint site, register your team using this form.
- Submit your team registration via email here.
The team registration deadline is June 16, 2023. If you have not registered your team by this time, you will not be able to participate in the competition.
MILESTONE 1: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
- Identify a minimum of one environmental, safety, or health hazard on your program.
- Take a video or photos (1 video or 3 photos limit) of the hazard to document the issue. Make sure the photo file size is 1 MB or larger, and include people (remove CAC cards and IDs!)
- Write a summary with the who, what, when, where, and why these items are a hazard.
- Submit the video and/or photos and summary to the Hazard Hunt SharePoint site or email them here before the July 7 deadline.
- The information must be submitted before each deadline. If you miss any of the deadlines, that hazard will be eliminated from the competition.
