Every year, British employees report over 600,000 workplace injuries. Not all injuries are preventable, but good hazard identification and risk control can go a long way towards making the workplace a safer environment for everyone.
In this course, you’ll learn how to quickly identify hazards, assess the danger they pose to employees and others at work, and how to reduce risk as far as is reasonably practicable. You’ll also learn about your obligations under health and safety law and how to keep accurate records.
You will learn:
- What the terms “hazard” and “risk” mean in an occupational context, and how key pieces of legislation help employers make the workplace safer for everyone
- How to uncover hazards in the workplace, make a realistic assessment of the risk they present, and who you need to consult when making your assessment
- How to keep appropriate records of risk assessments, what information to keep on file, and how often to update your records
- How to implement the hierarchy of control to manage identified risks, using elimination, substitution, controls and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The course is made up of 4 modules (around 3 hours of learning): What are Hazards and Risks?, How to Identify Hazards and Risks in the Workplace, How to Record Hazards and Risks in the Workplace, and Reducing Risks Using the Hierarchy of Control.
This course is part of our Business training courses, alongside our full CPD-accredited courses. See our related Health & Safety courses.
