Assessing risk is an approach to occupational health & safety. Both Federal and Provincial OH&S Legislation requires all employers to assess risk in the workplace in a variety of situations. This course will cover when a risk assessment must be completed and will give participants hands-on experience in a variety of different methods of conducting risk assessments.
In this course participants will:
