Risk
Prioritization

Hazards should be evaluated based on likelihood and potential severity so higher risk issues are addressed first.

Review
of Controls

Existing controls must be reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective and appropriate for the level of risk present.

Risk Assessment Expectations and Regulatory Compliance

Hazard identification and risk assessment are central components of Ontario’s due diligence requirements.

During inspections or compliance reviews, Ministry of Labour inspectors assess whether employers and supervisors have identified hazards, evaluated risk, and taken reasonable steps to control those risks.

Inspectors routinely assess:

 

  • Evidence of hazard identification and assessment processes

  • Use of risk assessments to guide control selection

  • Review of existing controls following incidents or changes

  • Worker and supervisor involvement in risk assessment activities

 

This course helps participants understand how risk assessments are reviewed during inspections and how documented assessments support compliance.

Understanding Your Certification

This course provides a Record of Training (ROT) confirming completion of Risk Assessment Training.

 

While this is not a government issued certification, the Record of Training is commonly used by employers to document that workers and supervisors have received instruction in hazard identification and risk prioritization.

 

Training records support employer documentation and may be requested during inspections or safety program evaluations.
