How to create a hazard identification form in Lumiform

You can start by choosing one of the customizable templates above or create your own, with AI assistance—it’s entirely up to you. Using Lumiform’s drag-and-drop form builder, you can design a hazard identification form in minutes that fits your team’s exact needs. Include multiple input types, such as text fields for descriptions or photo uploads to capture on-the-ground details, ensuring every hazard is documented clearly and efficiently.

With the Lumiform mobile app, your team can access and fill out the form on-site, even without internet access. Hazards can be flagged instantly, and you can assign tasks for follow-up actions, so your team resolves issues quickly and consistently.

Once assessments are complete, Lumiform’s data analysis tools make it easy to generate reports, providing actionable insights to refine processes and prevent future risks.


Frequently asked questions

What are common mistakes to avoid during hazard identification?

One major mistake is failing to involve employees who work directly in the area being assessed–they often have insights that management might miss. Skipping regular reviews of identified hazards is another oversight, as conditions can change quickly. Also, avoid vague descriptions—be specific about the nature and location of each hazard.

What’s the difference between hazard identification and risk assessment?

Hazard identification is about spotting potential dangers in the workplace, like a slippery floor or exposed wiring. Risk assessment goes a step further by evaluating the likelihood and severity of harm from those hazards and determining control measures.

How can I engage employees in hazard identification?

Make it part of everyday operations by creating a culture where reporting hazards feels natural. Encourage open dialogue during team meetings and recognize employees who actively participate. Providing simple, accessible tools, like mobile forms, makes reporting less of a burden.
