Who is responsible for preparing a hazard report?

Last reviewed July 5, 2026

The site supervisor or safety officer usually prepares the hazard report. They identify hazards, assess risks, and document their findings. Everyone on site should report hazards, but it's the supervisor's job to compile and submit the report.
