Hazard Recognition In Industrial Environments

Looking both ways before crossing the street is an effective safety rule because it ensures that before we step in the road, we see oncoming vehicles that might hit us. As this course shows, this same principle, looking for hazards in advance before starting an activity, also applies in the industrial workplace. By introducing the concept of hazard recognition, this course begins by explaining the correlation between overlooking or ignoring workplace hazards and the occurrence of workplace accidents. And even though it’s not possible to prepare for all potential hazards or to prevent every incident, completion of this course teaches workers how planning for, early recognition, and proper response to the hazards they’re likely to encounter, minimizes the effects on the facility, their co-workers, and themselves. Teach this course to assure all industrial environment employees are provided with a sound basis for recognizing and dealing with hazards throughout the facility.
