Identifying and controlling potential hazards is a critical aspect of workplace safety. Here is a safety procedure that can be followed for identifying and controlling potential hazards:

1. Conduct a hazard assessment: Conduct a hazard assessment of the workplace to identify potential hazards. This assessment should include a review of equipment, work practices, and the physical environment.
2. Prioritize hazards: Prioritize identified hazards based on their severity and potential impact on employee safety.
3. Develop a control plan: Develop a control plan for each prioritized hazard. This plan should include specific actions to eliminate or control the hazard.
4. Implement control measures: Implement control measures to eliminate or reduce the hazard. This may include engineering controls, administrative controls, and/or personal protective equipment (PPE).
5. Train employees: Train employees on the hazard control measures, including how to use any necessary PPE, and how to follow safe work practices.
6. Monitor and evaluate: Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the control measures on a regular basis. This may include inspections, audits, and incident investigations.
7. Revise control plan: Revise the control plan as necessary based on the monitoring and evaluation results.
8. Communicate hazards: Communicate any identified hazards and the control measures in place to all employees, contractors, and visitors to the workplace.

By following this safety procedure, you can help to ensure that potential hazards are identified and controlled, minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace.
