When should potential hazards associated with equipment be identified?

  1. The engineer does not know what he/she is doing

  2. Bidding on jobs

  3. New equipment is being designed for a process

  4. Identifying the cost of labor

The correct answer is: New equipment is being designed for a process

Identifying potential hazards associated with equipment during the design phase of new equipment is a crucial step in ensuring safety in a manufacturing environment. This is because recognizing hazards early on allows for the implementation of safety features or modifications before the equipment is put into use. By focusing on equipment design, engineers can assess risks related to machinery, materials, and the overall workflow, leading to more informed decisions that enhance safety protocols. This proactive approach not only protects workers but also complies with safety regulations and standards, ultimately minimizing the likelihood of accidents and equipment failures once the machinery is operational. Addressing hazards at this stage ensures that safety considerations are integrated into the entire lifecycle of the equipment, from design through to operation and maintenance.
