Course: R03 Risk Assessment The entire course includes all modules
listed on this page Pricing R03A Introduction to Modern Safety Systems A correlation has been found between the level of risk, productivity, state of industrial relations, and the injury frequency rate a company experiences. This relationship shows that a workplace with a comparatively lower level of risk also tends to have a higher level of productivity, better industrial relations, and fewer losses. With this in mind, why is more effort not put in striving to lower the amount of risk in a work environment? This module attempts to show how reactions following a loss are often misguided because they do not facilitate change, in order to lower the amount of risk and potential for other losses, and to break the vicious cycle of risk and loss. Overall, this course seeks to stimulate the beginning of this process by raising awareness of what can lead to accidents and injuries. As targeting risk levels is recognized as a key to this change, tools to measure levels of risk in a workplace will be provided throughout this course.
R03B Introduction to Risk Assessment Processes We all face risks in our work
environment; that is a common understanding. Are we as readily aware of
where hazards lie, how serious they are, and the available choices about
them? How can appropriate decisions be made unless we are aware of where
the greatest risks lie and think about what should be accepted? This
module will present a foundational process of identifying and prioritizing
risks to help answer these questions. Various approaches will also be
defined and explained so an appropriate Risk Assessment method can be
chosen for your workplace. The concept of risk will be explored at greater
depth to consider how people choose levels of risk in order to balance
perceived benefits and costs of risk-taking.
R03C Introduction to Inferential Statistics for OSHE This module provides a brief overview of statistics, inference, probability theory, set theory, and other related concepts as they apply to occupational safety, health, and environmental processes. The intent of this module is not mathematical mechanics or an in depth study of terms, but to provide conceptual and mental tools to read and interpret statistics to make accurate and reliable inferences from data, such as incident frequencies. By the end of this module, the learner will be able to:
R03D Job Hazard Analysis Companies that have experienced a positive change in OH&S have explained that, "much of our success in reducing injuries can be attributed to effective job planning" (Walsh, Ed. Buchanan, 2000). If this is the case, how can work be planned practically and effectively in a way that will reduce injuries?
R03E Inspections Why bother going through the process of planning and implementing routine structured and unstructured inspections?
R03F Gap Analyses and Perception Surveys Since what is perceived is assumed to be true, how various members of an organization perceive the value of Health & Safety systems will in turn affect their work attitudes and practices. Gap analyses and perception surveys seek to assess and contrast gaps between what is said and what actually happens, and between work standards and practices, in order to identify gaps in perceptions between employees and various levels of management. This module seeks to outline the history, techniques, strengths, and limitations of gap analyses and perception surveys.
R03G Fault Tree Analysis This module explores how to apply Fault Tree Analysis proactively to anticipate malfunctions before they arise. We will examine how to anticipate risks to prevent detrimental effects in a system or process. Fault Tree Analysis can be an effective method to identify a sequence of events and conditions leading up to an accident or injury to remove or minimize potential faults. We will explore when to use this method, who to engage in an analysis, the significance of fault tree symbols, how to construct a fault tree, other stages of this process, and we will evaluate its overall strengths and limitations. By the end of this module, the learner will be able to:
