Chevrons Hazard Identification

What is a Hazard?

A condition or action that has the potential for an unplanned release of, or unwanted contact with an energy source that may result in harm or injury to people, property or the environment.

It is Chevron’s expectation that all of our employees and contractors will utilize the Hazard Identification Tool when identifying hazards associated with work to be completed. This tool should be used anytime from the initial planning phase, to the Permitting Phase during the work group’s pre-job onsite Job Safety Analysis (JSA), to the Implementing Phase with the individual’s ongoing effort to Think Incident Free (TIF). To prevent incidents, workers must recognize and effectively identify the hazards associated with the tasks they perform. By focusing on the principles of hazard recognition we are not asking workers to memorize a list of thousands of possible hazards, but rather to understand broad categories of hazards.
