Create a Safety Analysis Function Evaluation (SAFE) Chart. This is a chart showing all process components and their required safety devices. 

Major elements of an occupational safety and health program address recognition, evaluation, and control of hazards. The activities may include risk assessment and charting of probability and severity of potential incidents. The activities may deal with routine functions as well as non-routine functions. Changes in operations and conditions or equipment may also trigger these activities. Inspections, reviews, and other analysis methods will help identify the hazards, the likelihood of occurrence and the potential severity. For example, there should be inspections of repair and maintenance work to ensure that guards and other protections are in place or an area is clear of flammable and combustible materials and sources of heat and fire. Previous chapters offered several methods for hazard recognition and control.
