What's in the Training?

Our risk assessment training course is regulation compliant, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on identifying and assessing risks, controlling hazards, and evaluating the cost of hazard control.

During this training, we will be taking a look at the different steps of risk assessment and hazard control. Throughout the training you will learn why risk assessments are vital for the safety of you and your employees. We will cover how to identify hazards on your worksite, how to perform a proper risk assessment, and how to control those hazards so you can lower or remove the risk to your employees. Finally, you will learn how to evaluate the cost of hazard control in relation to the cost of not controlling the hazards on your worksite.

Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, and local standards, this training encompasses the following standards:

Canada Standards

CAN/CSA-Q850-97: Risk Management: Guideline for Decision Makers
CAN/CSA-Q634-91: Risk Analysis Requirements and Guidelines

Why Do I Need Training?

In line with Canada regulations, employers are required to provide a workplace that "is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees."

This means employers have a legal and ethical obligation to promote a work environment that is free from all serious and recognized hazards. You and your coworkers have the right to work in an atmosphere that promotes the safety, equality, and well-being of all.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of risk assessment?

The main purpose of risk assessment is to know which worksite hazards should be controlled first based on the danger it poses to your employees. Controlling the most dangerous hazards first will help keep your employees safe.

Why is risk assessment important?

Risk assessment is important because it gives you more knowledge about the risks on your worksite. Not only does it encourage you to identify more hazards on the site, but it allows you to control those hazards more effectively.

Are there different types of risk assessment?

There are several different types of risk assessment including qualitative, quantitative, generic, site-specific, and dynamic risk assessments. The type of risk assessment found in the training is a robust quantitative risk assessment as it is the most effective and least biased type of risk assessment.

What is the difference between risk assessment and risk management?

Risk assessment falls under the risk management umbrella. Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling all known and serious hazards. Risk assessment is the process of classifying hazards according to the overall level of danger posed to employees. Although this training primarily deals with risk assessment, it also provides insight into the whole risk management process.

What is the difference between a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and risk assessment?

A job hazard analysis deals primarily with identifying hazards while a risk assessment deals more with assessing the overall danger that those hazards pose to employees.

Who performs risk assessments?

Risk assessments are performed by the employer/supervisor, or a qualified employee chosen by the employer to carry out the assessment. Risk assessments can also be performed by a risk management team (required in Canada).
