The course will cover what hazards are, how we identify them in the workplace and how they can affect people, property and cause loss to a business. How we assess risk and plan to reduce risk. What are Inspection and Audits and how they can be used to improve the Health & Safety of employees leading to reduced incidents and accidents?

Hazards in the workplace can lead to serious injuries or long term health issues if not identified and assessed for risk. Employees time off work leads to extra costs for a company and possible legal action. Reducing workplace accidents and injuries by identifying hazards and planning to reduce their impact is good business, leading to reduced costs, better employee morale and increased productivity. Learning how to identify hazards and incorporating this into health & Safety audits and workplace inspections is good business.
