Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) Training

Introduction:

Health and safety issues are becoming increasingly important in the modern industrial world. Risk assessment is a core element of health and safety management. Risk and safety management play an important part in every business success. Identifying the various types of hazards/risks and the implications that each might have on an organisation, as well as highlighting the business benefits that can be obtained through successful risk and safety management all need to be included in an overall company strategy.
 
The emphasis on management of health and safety and management of risk is becoming more prevalent in legislation. The Ministry of Manpower’s new Workplace Safety and Health (Risk Management) Regulations requires an employer to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to workers and others who may be affected by their undertakings.

This course will provide participants with the practical knowledge to enable them to carry out risk assessments in their workplace. It is designed to provide guidance for the identification of hazards associated with the working environment and the principles to be applied in relation to carrying out suitable risk assessments so as to ensure staff safety and business continuity.
