Responsibility
Fill out HIP forms in their areas of authority at the beginning of

each shift.
All hazards are identified by the workforce and have been
controlled before work starts.
Ensure workforce understand their own responsibilities in
controlling hazards and sign onto the HIP form.
Ensure HIP forms are updated with new hazards and controls if
working conditions change during the shift or if a new worker joins
the team.
At the end of your shift drop the HIP form into the drop box at the
site entrance.

The HIP procedure has pictures to help remind
supervisors of points they should be discussing with
the workforce and in assessing work place hazards.
The aim is to get workers to identify hazards for

themselves and to encourage them to recommend the
controls needed.
