Course Overview
The Risk Assessment Essentials course provides a practical introduction to the process of identifying hazards, assessing workplace risks, and applying appropriate control measures. Understanding risk assessment is a fundamental part of maintaining safe operations and protecting employees, assets, and organisational reputation.
