Hazard and Risk Assessments

A Fresh Perspective on Workplace Safety

Even the most vigilant organizations can overlook hidden hazards within the workplace. Familiarity with an environment sometimes causes critical risks to go unnoticed. That’s where our experienced safety specialists come in.

At Nimble Safety, we offer an objective, expert evaluation of your workplace, identifying risks that may have been unintentionally accepted as “normal.” Our comprehensive assessments shed light on vulnerabilities that could lead to accidents, injuries, or compliance violations if left unaddressed.

What Our Hazard Assessments Include

  • ✅ A full review of work areas, processes, and activities
  • ✅ Identification of physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards
  • ✅ Evaluation of current control measures and PPE effectiveness
  • ✅ Detailed risk analysis and prioritization of hazards
  • ✅ Regulatory compliance checks specific to your industry
  • ✅ Practical recommendations to strengthen your safety systems

Why a Fresh Set of Eyes Matters

Over time, it’s easy for workers and managers to become “blind” to their environment. Familiar risks blend into the background, and informal workarounds become common practice. An external review conducted by skilled professionals brings a new lens to safety, uncovering hidden dangers before they lead to costly incidents.

Our team approaches each assessment with curiosity, diligence, and technical expertise, ensuring no stone is left unturned. Whether it’s improperly stored materials, ineffective ventilation, outdated procedures, or unrecognized ergonomic issues, we help you see your workplace differently — and safer.

Customized Hazard-Specific Program Development

If our assessment identifies a need for enhanced controls, we don’t just leave you with a report — we roll up our sleeves and work with you to create practical, effective programs tailored to your workplace’s unique risks.

  • ✅ Chemical handling and storage procedures
  • ✅ Lockout/tagout programs for energy control
  • ✅ Respiratory protection and air quality programs
  • ✅ Ergonomic assessments and workstation redesigns
  • ✅ Machine guarding and equipment safety plans
