HazardHarbor helps you organize safety work. Keeping people safe and meeting legal obligations remains the responsibility of employers, site managers and qualified professionals. By using the Service you agree to the following responsibilities, which form part of our Terms of Service.
Verify requirements
Determine which federal, state, local and industry requirements, permits and standards apply to your operations. Checklists, outlines, talks and calculators are starting points and do not cover every applicable requirement.
Confirm current requirements with official sources. Regulations change and state plans may impose different or additional requirements.
Adapt and approve
Adapt templates, checklists and outlines to your actual work, equipment, people and site conditions, and have them reviewed and approved by a competent or qualified person before use.
Risk scores in the JSA builder are an internal prioritization aid, not a regulatory threshold.
Act on hazards
Recording a hazard is not the same as controlling it. Stop work and follow your emergency procedures where there is imminent danger. Assign corrective actions to people with the authority to complete them, and verify they are effective.
The Service does not notify supervisors, responders or regulators. Call 911 or your local emergency number in an emergency.
Keep official records
Maintain any records required by law (for example OSHA injury and illness logs) in the required form and for the required period. Calculated rates do not determine recordability and do not satisfy filing obligations.
Train your people
Provide training required for your workforce in a language and vocabulary they understand. Toolbox talks support, but do not replace, required training.
Protect personal information
Record only what you need. Do not store medical or health information, diagnoses, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers or other sensitive personal data. Describe incidents factually and avoid blame.
Ensure you have the right to record information about the people named in your workspace and that doing so complies with your policies and applicable law.
Secure your account and workspace
Use a strong, unique password, enable two-factor authentication, don't share accounts, and remove workspace members who no longer need access. Review who has admin rights.
Export your data regularly if you need offline copies for your own record-retention obligations.
Use qualified help
Engage qualified safety, environmental, legal and medical professionals where your situation requires it. Free confidential OSHA On-Site Consultation is available to many small businesses.
