Course overview
Risk Management Training is an essential course designed to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge required to contribute effectively to work health and safety (WHS) risk management processes within their workplace. This Risk Management training delves into the core aspects of identifying WHS hazards, assessing the risks associated with those hazards, and implementing appropriate control measures to mitigate them. It aims to equip participants with the ability to create a safer work environment, reducing the likelihood of accidents and ensuring compliance with WHS regulations and standards.
The Risk Assessment training program is structured to provide comprehensive coverage of WHS risk management principles, including the legislative framework, risk identification techniques, risk analysis and evaluation methods, and the hierarchy of risk control measures. Participants will learn through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical exercises, designed to enhance their understanding and application of risk management strategies in real-world scenarios.
Upon completion of the Risk Management Training, participants will be well-equipped to actively contribute to the risk management processes within their organisations. They will possess the skills to identify potential hazards, assess risks accurately, and develop and implement effective risk control plans. This not only promotes a culture of safety and prevention within the workplace but also aligns with organisational goals and legal obligations concerning workplace health and safety. Whether you are a WHS officer, a member of a safety committee, or a frontline worker, this training will provide you with the crucial skills and knowledge to support and enhance WHS risk management efforts in your organisation.
