Defining Hazard and Risk

Unless you do a dangerous job, going to work might not seem like a risky thing to do. But, we’re all likely to face some level of risk in our workplaces. And even though workplace risk might not sound as bad as balancing on a tiny ledge 300 feet up, or jumping off a skyscraper, it could be just as dangerous. So, every workplace needs to keep risk to a minimum, by reducing hazards. This course will demystify hazards and risk and show you how successful risk management can stop your workplace turning into a danger zone.
