Begin by learning the purpose of risk assessment and why it is essential on construction sites. You’ll explore the process of identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing appropriate control measures to protect workers and the public.
Every construction site presents unique hazards. This module explains how to carry out workplace risk assessments, recognise potential dangers, and document findings to support safe working practices.
Effective risk management goes beyond identifying hazards. Learn how risks are assessed, prioritised, controlled, monitored, and reviewed throughout the lifecycle of a construction project.
A proactive approach to risk management helps reduce injuries, improve productivity, and strengthen compliance. Explore the advantages of embedding risk management into everyday construction operations.
Construction workers encounter many workplace hazards every day. Discover common health and safety risks, including slips, trips, falls, struck-by hazards, and exposure to harmful environments, while learning effective control strategies.
Construction equipment must be used safely to minimise workplace injuries. Learn how to identify equipment hazards, inspect tools, apply safe operating practices, and implement suitable control measures.
Electrical hazards remain one of the leading causes of serious workplace incidents. This module explores how to identify electrical risks, assess their severity, and plan appropriate safety measures before work begins.
Prevention is key to electrical safety. Explore methods for controlling electrical hazards through safe work procedures, isolation practices, inspections, training, and the appropriate use of protective equipment.
Construction projects often involve hazardous products that require careful handling. Learn how to assess the risks associated with chemicals and other hazardous materials using Canadian workplace hazardous product requirements, including information provided through the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS).
Once hazards have been identified, ongoing monitoring is essential. This module explains how to implement control measures, review safety procedures, and ensure hazardous products are stored, handled, and used safely throughout construction activities.
Although asbestos use has been prohibited in Canada, it may still be present in older buildings. Explore the health risks associated with asbestos exposure, where it may be found, and why proper identification is critical before renovation or demolition work.
Before disturbing building materials, asbestos risks must be properly assessed. Learn about asbestos inspections, surveys, risk assessments, and the importance of following Canadian regulations and using qualified professionals for asbestos-related work.
Lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling materials are common construction activities. This module explains how to assess manual handling tasks and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
Good planning and proper lifting techniques help create safer workplaces. Explore practical methods for reducing manual handling risks through equipment selection, teamwork, ergonomic practices, and safe work procedures.
Complete the course by learning how to assess fall hazards, select appropriate control measures, and support safe work at heights. You’ll also explore fall prevention practices, equipment inspections, and the importance of complying with provincial and territorial occupational health and safety requirements across Canada.
Yes. The course is suitable for beginners as well as experienced construction workers, supervisors, and health and safety personnel who want to improve their understanding of workplace risk assessment.
