During which phase could hazards be identified at Chemex Industries?

The identification of hazards during the use phase is critical because this is when hazardous materials are actively being utilized in processes or activities. During this phase, workers interact directly with the materials, and potential risks can become evident through actual operations, equipment performance, and employee exposure. By observing the materials in use, it's possible to identify specific hazards such as chemical reactions, exposure risk levels, or equipment failures that may not be apparent during transportation, storage, or production.

This proactive assessment of hazards can lead to immediate corrective measures, safety enhancements, and effective risk management. Regular monitoring and evaluation during the use phase are essential in ensuring safety protocols are adhered to and that any emerging risks are swiftly addressed to maintain a safe working environment. In contrast, while hazards can certainly be present in transportation, storage, and production, those phases are more about handling and preparation rather than the active observation of hazards occurring in real-time.
