Course Overview

Hazard identification is a key part of any injury & illness prevention program within the workplace. If hazards are not identified, then they cannot be mitigated properly. In order to maintain a healthy & positive working environment, it is important to recognize hazards and implement control measures to eliminate or mitigate those hazards. Working within the workplace on daily basis imposes numerous hazards and failure to recognize the nature of these hazards will lead to incidents, accidents, injuries or deaths. The course provides a methodology for identifying hazards in the form of formal inspections, safety surveys and methods to conduct Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)/ Job Safety Analysis (JSA). The course will highlight how to properly evaluate hazards depending on their risk priority and will provide the suitable control measures such as elimination, substitution, engineering controls or administrative controls. This course will also cover the required personal protective equipment to reduce the risk of hazards. In addition, this course will provide an understanding of the formal processes required to identify, control and monitor hazards in the workplace.
