This Hazard Elimination and Management List has been developed to assist the Client, Principal Designer, Designers, Principal Contractor and Contractors in identification of significant project hazards. This document should also identify the actions that can be taken to remove, reduce or control hazards to a tolerable level. All
members of the project team are expected to contribute to the list and the Principal Designer will maintain the list through contribution from the project team. The hazards identified will be reviewed by the Principal Designer throughout the design development with formal review at the sign off of each design stage.
