Answer to Question 1

A hazard is a condition or combination of conditions that, if left uncorrected, may lead to an accident, illness, or property damage.

Answer to Question 2

Safety training should be mandatory for all new hires as part of their orientation and for all employees any time they change positions or job sites. Orientation training should be generic and broadly applicable. In addition, job-site specific training should be provided before a new employee is allowed to begin work. Updating training should be provided periodically so that new information is communicated to employees and old information is refreshed. Training, as a requirement, appears in numerous OSHA regulations.
