Accidents can occur in all kinds of working environments and many lead to injuries. It is very important for managers, and others responsible for safety in the work place, to understand how to recognise potential hazards and deal with them before they lead to accidents.
This course has been developed to help you anticipate hazards in the workplace and reduce the financial and human consequences of preventable workplace accidents and injuries.
It provides you with clear and practical guidance on how to identify risks and hazards and how to conduct a workplace risk assessment. The course explores a comprehensive five-step approach to improving safety in the workplace.
The course features simple graphics and vivid animations. The ‘Summary’, ‘Checklist’ and ‘Self Test’ sections of the course let you check that you have fully understood the issues and are ready to apply what you’ve learnt in your own workplace.
When you have completed this course, you will be able to:
• Identify common hazards in the workplace
• Raise awareness of the issues among your colleagues, employees and managers
• Take appropriate action to prevent accidents and breaches of legislation
