ICBA’s Hazard Recognition and Control session on March 11 will give participants the knowledge they need to understand the principle of hazard recognition and control as well as the methods used to ensure hazards are identified and adequately addressed in the workplace.
By the time the session is over, sessions participants will have the tools they need to identify hazards, assess them, and score them by priority. They will also learn methods to take the information gathered and develop Safe Work Procedures to mitigate the hazards.
Participants will review a number of hazard scenarios as well as work to develop procedures to mitigate those hazards.
Topics covered include:
- The regulatory requirements to identify and assess hazards.
- Who may do a hazard assessment?
- How to gather information regarding the hazards of a process?
- How to conduct interviews with persons familiar with the process being assessed?
- Developing appropriate conclusions and mitigating factors.
- Completing the Hazard Assessment Form and develop Safe Work Procedures.
