Document background
The Field Level Hazard Assessment is a mandatory safety document required under Belgian workplace safety regulations and aligned with EU safety directives. This document must be completed before beginning any field work that may involve potential hazards to workers, equipment, or the environment. It serves multiple purposes: ensuring compliance with legal requirements, protecting worker safety, preventing accidents, and establishing clear protocols for hazard management. The assessment should be updated when conditions change and reviewed regularly to maintain its effectiveness. It forms part of the broader workplace safety management system required by Belgian law and includes detailed documentation of hazard identification, risk evaluation, and control measures implementation.
