Risk management is a discipline that aims to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks related to the company's activities, regardless of their nature or origin. This discipline implies that risks are treated methodically in order to reduce and control the probability of feared events, as well as their possible impact.

Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is a method of anticipating and analyzing hazards and risks in the workplace. It is a rigorous process, a tool to be favoured by any worker who is about to perform a task, and it usually takes only a few minutes to complete. It raises team awareness of the importance of health and safety, identifies risks by breaking down tasks into steps, develops accident prevention tools, and encourages the adoption of an occupational health and safety culture. It also helps prevent serious accidents and save lives.

Data protection is a major issue for companies. Companies must obtain the explicit consent of individuals before collecting or processing their personal data.

Any worker who is exposed to sources of electrical power is at risk. Aren’t electric shocks harmless? Perhaps, but the force and heat produced by an electric arc can damage and destroy human tissue. Through this online training, workers will be informed of potential risks which may arise in the course of their duties and of prevention measures they should implement.

RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITE TRAINING:
* FALL PROTECTION AND PREVENTION - INTRODUCTION (SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS)
* FALL PROTECTION AND PREVENTION - LADDERS AND STEPLADDERS

Any worker having to work at heights should know the risks associated with his tasks, and know what means of protection to use, to prevent incidents.

The human body has a usual internal temperature of 37⁰C or 98⁰F. Since the body reacts when its internal temperature varies (thermal discomfort, heat stress), it is important to know the causes and prevent them.

Using a scaffold to perform work at height exposes workers to several hazards, such as collapse or tipping of the scaffold. To avoid injuries or accidents, scaffolds must be erected in accordance with certain safety rules. This training covers the characteristics of the different types of scaffolding, the safety rules to follow, the steps for their assembly as well as the good practices to adopt.
