Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Prioritization Assignment
Details for the written assignment on Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Prioritizationare in the document attached.
Here is the link for risk assessment and hazard identification that you saw in Unit 2. Review the material through Module 4: Evaluate the Risks and Decide on Precautions. All of the Modules provide great information and will help you finish your assignment in Unit 7.

Job Description from the previous assignment
Instructor comments on the assignment was:
Watch the capitalization here. Make sure you keep consistent with Risk and Compliance Manager capitalization wise.
So the detail you have given is very extensive. I think you have the content covered for sure and the hazards that can come out of this job are clear as well. My suggestion would be to try and make this a solid paragraph instead of listing. Second, you may want to try and condense it a bit as well. Although very detailed, I felt as though some of the things you mentioned were kind of “understood.” You might have actually had too much detail if that makes any sense. The effort was outstanding though, that needs to be recognized.
Abstract
Risk assessment is very vital especially in a laboratory to help users avoid injuries. Risk assessment is essential for self-protection and for protecting other people that share the same facilities. In a chemistry lab, we have dangerous chemicals and hazardous experiments that require high levels of cautiousness for health and safety. Before an experiment of any usage of the lab, a risk assessment report must be published prior with all the conditions included. In this report, we will discuss the hazards in a chemistry lab that affects both people and the lab components.
