The importance of hazard prevention and control cannot be overstated. It is a fundamental principle behind any Occupational Health and Safety program, but before hazards can be controlled they have to be identified and then evaluate their risk level, as well as determine how to handle these potential problems.
Hazards are never a pleasant surprise and they can be the most preventable work-related injuries of all time. Hazard identification begins with recognition, which means that before hazards hinder your safety plans, there has to be an evaluation in order for them to get rated according to their risk levels, so you know how to prevent and mitigate their harmful impact.
This training course will help you become more aware of the various workplace hazards and how they can be properly evaluated. It provides education about different methods for managing risks, such as eliminating them through proper procedures or substituting one hazard with another that poses less threat. The objectives of this Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment workshop are achieved by providing lectures on personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, understanding legal issues surrounding health and safety standards, gaining knowledge regarding OSHA guidelines, and developing an understanding of hazard evaluation processes that are involved with different types of hazards.
