Task Risk Assessment: Modern Proactive Approach to Incident Prevention

Introduction

This Task Risk Assessment training course provides delegates with a proven task risk assessment model that is based on good practices designed to be practical and easy to use. Task Risk Assessment is an evaluation of the hazards that are present whilst performing a task and the best way to mitigate the risks. Generally, life and the working environment are full of hazards. Personnel must be able to realize what these hazards are, where these hazards are found, and how they can be affected by the hazards.

Task Risk assessment is a modern proactive approach to incident prevention. Whatever mitigation measures are put in place there will always remain a level of residual risk. However, the importance is to maintain the residual risks at a level that is ‘As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)’ and this can be achieved through the implementation of good practice guidelines that are known. In order to undertake a Task Risk Assessment, it is necessary to have knowledge of what hazards exist and how the risk from these hazards can be minimized.

This training course will feature:

  • Hazard identification
  • Risk assessment
  • Prevention measures & control measures
  • Common hazards in a workplace
  • Task Risk Assessment

Objectives

    By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

    • Perform Task Risk Assessments
    • Understand the Risk Mitigation process
    • Realize that hazards remain but risks can be reduced

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
