Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Tool – Security

This Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) tool is tailored for security professionals in overnight accommodation settings, covering surveillance, patrols, and emergency response duties. It highlights hazards such as working alone, violence and harassment, biohazard exposure, fatigue, vehicle traffic, wildlife encounters, and musculoskeletal injuries. Employers can assess inherent and residual risk, apply probability and severity ratings, and implement appropriate controls using the hierarchy of controls. For step-by-step guidance on evaluating and managing these risks, refer to the Guidance Document – Assessing Risk for HIRA Tools. This resource supports compliance with WorkSafeBC requirements and enhances workplace safety for security staff.
