What a Safety Concept Map Shows
A safety concept map is a visual diagram that links the parts of a safety system. Its central idea is preventing harm, and it usually divides into hazards (sources of harm), risk assessment (how likely and how severe), controls (the measures that reduce risk), and responsibilities (who acts and when). Seeing these links helps you learn how each part depends on the others.
- Hazards: physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and psychosocial sources
- Risk assessment: identifying likelihood and severity of harm
- Control measures: elimination, substitution, engineering, administrative and PPE
- Roles and duties: employers, workers, supervisors and inspectors
- Reporting and review: incident logs, audits and continuous improvement
Use the map to revise for a safety exam, prepare training or review a workplace policy. Generate a personalized safety concept map with CogniGuide from your own notes.

Safety Concept Map Questions
Answers about safety maps and how to build one with CogniGuide.
What is the hierarchy of controls?
It ranks risk controls from most to least effective: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment. Stronger controls remove the hazard itself rather than relying on worker behavior.
What is the difference between a hazard and a risk?
A hazard is anything that can cause harm, such as a slippery floor. Risk is the combined likelihood and severity of that harm happening in a particular situation.
Which files can I use to make a safety map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images. You can also type a topic instead of uploading.
Can I turn my safety map into a quiz?
Yes. CogniGuide can turn a finished map into a quiz, and it can also create flashcards from the same notes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week.
