What this lesson covers
This lesson covers the proactive side of risk management on construction sites: finding hazards before they cause harm, prioritizing them, assigning controls with owners and dates, and verifying that risk actually went down. It matters because CHST questions ask which action comes next in a risk reduction effort and how to tell when it is complete.
