What process involves evaluating hazards to ensure workplace safety?

• A. Material Safety Data Sheets
• B. Ventilation
• C. Risk Assessment
• D. Training Staff

Answer: (C)

Evaluating hazards to keep people safe in the workplace is done through a risk assessment. This involves spotting potential hazards, judging how likely harm is and how serious it could be, and then deciding what controls are needed to reduce the risk. In a facial skincare setting, consider hazards from skincare products, electrical devices, cleaning chemicals, and sanitation practices, and plan measures to protect clients and staff. Information from materials safety data sheets helps you understand the hazards of substances, but the risk assessment is the step that weighs risk and determines the needed controls. Ventilation is a control to reduce risk, not the evaluation itself, and training staff is essential for safe practice but is a preventive action rather than the analysis step.
