In recent years, managing workplace safety and health has taken a more proactive approach, recognising that determining and overcoming hazards before they cause injury or illness is more effective than being reactive.

On this two-week course from Universiti Malaya, you’ll dive into the risk assessment side of health and safety, and discover how to mitigate and control risks in any workplace.

Delve into the risk assessment process to evaluate health and safety hazards

Risk assessments are an important part of the occupational safety and health (OSH) management plan.

You’ll learn the different types of risk assessment, as well as how and when to conduct each of them. Throughout this course, you’ll be supported with resources such as strategies, templates, and control measures to help you implement a proactive, iterative risk assessment process within your workplace.

Explore the scope of control and how to mitigate risk at work

This course will guide you through the hierarchy of control, delving into each control measure, how to implement each, and the different scenarios they can be used for.

You’ll also look at the different levels of control and responsibility that workers and organisations have in regard to health and safety.

Once you’ve successfully completed this course, you’ll be able to identify workplace hazards and carry out comprehensive risk assessments in the workplace.
