About the course
What this course covers.
Almost every workplace injury traces back to a hazard that was there to be found before the work started. Hazard Identification, Assessment, and Control is the course that builds the habit and the method: see the hazard, weigh the risk, control it. It is foundational safety training that applies to every worker on every site.
The course starts with how a person's beliefs shape their approach to incident prevention, then covers the types of hazards a worker meets and the legislation behind hazard work. It walks the three-step process for dealing with a hazard, organizational hazard identification, the components of risk assessment, how risk is evaluated and given a value, and how controls are applied. It closes on the difference between a formal hazard assessment and a field level hazard assessment.
Companies use this course to give every worker a shared method for handling hazards, to support their formal and field level hazard assessment programs, and to give a COR auditor documented evidence under the hazard assessment element.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
This is the course we start every new worker on. Once a crew shares the same three-step language for hazards, the field level assessments actually get better.
Shauna B.
Safety Coordinator
The difference between a formal hazard assessment and an FLHA was never clear to my crew until this. Now they know which one they are doing and why.
Ryan T.
Foreman
A solid foundation. The risk evaluation section, assigning a value to risk, is what most workers skip, and the course does not let them.

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
A mark of 80 percent on the final exam earns the certificate, and the course can be repeated twice if the pass mark is not met on the first attempt. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion. The certificate does not expire, though the course is recommended to be retaken every three years to keep the training current.
- Fully online and self-paced - about two hours of content
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
- Eligible for BCRSP and Alberta Water and Wastewater Operator continuing education units

Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety legislation requires that workplace hazards are identified, assessed, and controlled, and that workers are trained to do it. This course provides the documented training record a COR auditor looks for under the hazard assessment element of a safety program.
