Start Course Now →This beginner-friendly course gives you a practical grounding in how to recognise workplace hazards, assess the risk they carry, and choose the right controls to reduce exposure. It is built for anyone new to safety responsibilities who wants a clear, usable approach rather than theory. In around two hours you will work through identification, analysis, and the hierarchy of controls, and see how it all fits together in a real example.
Walk out able to actually help.
Identify common workplace hazards and understand how they lead to incidents.
Apply risk assessment basics and conduct a job hazard analysis with confidence.
Use the hierarchy of controls to select and apply effective control measures.
Build continuous improvement into how hazards are managed over time.
Built around the moment it matters.
Introduction to Hazard Recognition and Risk Control
Understand what workplace hazards are and get to grips with the basics of risk assessment.
Identifying and Assessing Hazards
Learn practical methods for spotting hazards and how to carry out a job hazard analysis (JHA).
Controlling Hazards and Reducing Risk

Practical Applications and Continuous Improvement
Work through a real hazard control example and learn to keep improving your hazard management.
Where this learning adds value.
Build practical capability you can apply immediately, and evidence of structured professional development.
Every programme sits on a pathway, so you can progress from foundation into the specialist streams your role or sector demands.
Contractors and suppliers are routinely asked to evidence trained personnel — structured training supports that case where the course is relevant.
