Overview
The Risk Management Tools course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of essential safety protocols used in various industries. Covering Permit to Work (PTW) systems, participants learn how to create, issue, and manage work permits, ensuring that tasks are conducted safely and efficiently. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) techniques are explored, teaching attendees how to assess potential hazards associated with specific job tasks and develop strategies to mitigate risks effectively. The course also delves into Lifting Plans, focusing on safe lifting operations, equipment selection, and load calculations to prevent accidents related to lifting and rigging activities. Furthermore, participants gain insights into Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) processes, enabling them to identify hazards, evaluate associated risks, and implement control measures to enhance workplace safety. By the end of the course, participants are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to proactively manage risks and ensure a secure working environment in their respective fields.
