Why Accurate Hazard Analysis Is a Matter of Life and Death
In 2023, a worker died on the job in the United States every 100 minutes.
Let that sink in.
Many of those deaths were preventable — and too often, the root cause was the same: the failure to fully identify and address hazards before work began.
At CorpsPro Safety, we know that hazard analysis isn't paperwork — it’s protection. It’s a structured conversation with real consequences. When done right, it saves lives, reduces delays, and strengthens your standing with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
What a Real Hazard Analysis Looks Like
A compliant, effective hazard analysis:
Is developed before the work starts, not after
Involves the people actually doing the work — their insight is critical
Clearly explains job steps, hazards, controls, and required PPE
Addresses chemicals, tools, equipment, weather, and environmental factors
Is translated or explained in the language workers best understand
Is updated as conditions change
Why It Matters
Beyond compliance, beyond CPARS scores — hazard analysis is about respect.Respect for your people. Respect for the risks. Respect for the work.
Cutting corners here leads to injuries, citations, stop-work orders, or worse.Doing it right builds a culture of trust, prevention, and performance.
