Course Description
Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control
The failure to identify hazards, assess risk and control risk (risk assessment) will lead to unnecessary losses within an organisation. If a consistent approach to risk assessment is not employed then not only will exposure to risk remain high, but opportunities to reduce or eliminate risk will be missed. Also, it will not be possible to compare risk data across the organisation as no standards are being applied. The OHSAS18001 standard mandates that risk assessments are completed, but it does not tell you how to do these assessments. Our experience team will show you a simple, comprehensive and effective approach that has help several organisations achieve certification, and do so saving time and money.
