In order to eliminate or minimize the risk of injury and illness in the work place, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act is one of the primary objectives. Delegates will learn how to create a healthy and safe working environment and how to achieve this.

One of the core challenges faced by emergency managers is how to prevent, mitigate,
prepare, respond and recover from different types of hazards.
Several questions must be asked when faced with this challenge:
• What hazards exist in or near my community?
• How frequently do these hazards occur?
• How much damage can they cause?
• Which hazards pose the greatest threat

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK MANAGEMENT COURSE OVERVIEW

Risk involves occurrence or potential occurrence of some accidents due to an event or sequence of
events. The risk assessment study covers the following:
– Identification of potential hazard areas
– Identification of representative failure cases
– Visualization of the resulting scenarios in terms of fire (thermal radiation) and explosion
– Assess the overall damage potential of the identified hazardous events and the impact
zones from the accidental scenarios
– Assess the overall suitability of the site from hazard minimization and disaster
mitigation point of view
– Furnish specific recommendations on the minimization of the worst accident
possibilities
– Preparation of On-site and Off-site Emergency Plan, which includes occupational and health
safety plan
There is always possibility of occurrence of incidents in an industry which requires proper risk
assessment and proper safety preparedness. Activities requiring assessment of risk due to
occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and accident are both onsite and off-site.
