Course Description

Hazards exist in everywhere, but how do we know which ones have the most potential to harm people? By identifying hazards, we will be better prepared to control or eliminate them and prevent accidents, injuries, property damage and downtime. After all, we can’t fix problems we don’t know about. This course helps participants to learn effective and proven methods of hazard identification, assessment, and control by covering essential topics such as hazard mapping, workplace inspections, risk assessment techniques, and the hierarchy of controls
