BCMSA Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

The occurrence of occupational maladies and injuries is often due to the presence of risks in the workplace. In order to ascertain whether these risks can be mitigated or the threat to employees minimized, the employer is required to evaluate the degree of danger associated with these risks, prioritize them, and implement controls based on their priority.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Occupational maladies and injuries occur when employees are exposed to risks in their workplaces. By eliminating or controlling exposure to these risks, it is logical to conclude that employees will not suffer from work-related maladies and injuries.
