Practical risk assessment workshop covering hazard identification, risk evaluation, and control selection to support workplace safety and due diligence.
This 4 hour course provide supervisors, employers, and workers with the tools they need to successfully identify and prioritize hazards in their workplace.
Risk assessment goes by many names including JHA, JSA, RA, FLRA, FLHA, and more. This course will outline methods for identifying and categorizing hazards.
Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
The 4 hr Risk Assessment Workshop provides practical instruction on identifying workplace hazards, evaluating risk, and selecting appropriate control measures.
This workshop supports an organization’s health and safety system by helping participants understand how risk assessments fit into incident prevention, work planning, and due diligence. The focus is on applying a consistent, repeatable approach rather than relying on informal or undocumented judgment.

This course builds practical understanding of how to assess and prioritize workplace hazards.
By the end of this 4-hour course, participants will be able to:
Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
This course is intended for individuals involved in identifying, evaluating, or controlling workplace hazards.
Supervisors responsible for identifying hazards, implementing controls, and monitoring work activities.
Individuals responsible for ensuring hazards are assessed and reasonable precautions are taken.
JHSC members who participate in inspections, investigations, and hazard reviews.
Representatives supporting hazard identification and risk reduction in smaller workplaces.
Workplaces must identify hazards associated with tasks, equipment, and environments before work begins or when conditions change.
Hazards should be evaluated based on likelihood and potential severity so higher risk issues are addressed first.
Existing controls must be reviewed regularly to ensure they remain effective and appropriate for the level of risk present.
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.
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.
Unidentified or poorly prioritized hazards increase the likelihood of incidents, injuries, and enforcement action.
Providing Risk Assessment Training helps organizations demonstrate due diligence by ensuring hazards are systematically identified and addressed.
After completing this course, participants have a clearer understanding of how to assess risk and prioritize hazards effectively.
Workers leave with awareness of:
This course helped me understand how to rank hazards instead of treating everything the same. It made planning safer and more realistic.
The training broke down different risk assessment methods in a way that was easy to follow and apply on site.
It helped our team get on the same page when identifying hazards and deciding what needs attention first.
Experts also agree this training supports effective hazard identification and risk prioritization as part of Ontario due diligence practices.
