Anticipation of risk at the work site is the ideal and quickest way of discovering hazards.
Once hazard is anticipated one should move to the next step and that is recognition followed by evaluation and finally control.

the easiest way is to use a checklist of potential hazards and distribute it to your staff and they can inform you of the risks so you can assess it.

 

if you have camera at your workpalce, you can monitore the employee actions and then assess behavior and risks from your external point of view.

 

Process mapping is also recommended. once you have a flowchart of your proces, make a column for the equipment used, and the material. then you can use them to spot hazards.

 

however, you need to understand how is your staff is exposed to these risks. this is essential for risk assessment. higher exposure limits could turn the scale upside down when assessng risks
