Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Tool – Engineering & Building Operator (Overnight Accommodation)
This Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) tool is tailored for engineering and building operator positions in the overnight accommodation sector. It helps employers systematically assess job-specific hazards—like working with HVAC, electrical systems, confined spaces, or at heights—and assign risk levels using probability and severity ratings. The tool provides recommended control measures and supports compliance with BC’s Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. Employers are encouraged to adapt the content to their site and refer to the Guidance Document – Assessing Risk for HIRA Tools to accurately evaluate and manage workplace hazards.
