Understanding Hazards and Risks
This course looks at understanding hazards and risks in the workplace. The process of hazard identification and evaluation, often referred to as risk assessment is so important that it is vital that everyone fully understands the meaning of the words.
Any successful safety strategy has this principle as its foundation. However, the degree to which it is successful is dependent on the following three factors:
- The ability of the organization to identify all of the hazards that are present
- The ability of the organization to implement satisfactory control measures whenever necessary, and
- The level of commitment from all personnel within the organization to accept the rules, regulations and safe work practices and procedures that have been established.
