About the course
What this course covers.
A risk assessment goes a step further than a basic hazard assessment - it is built for someone weighing multiple risks against each other and deciding where to focus limited time and resources. This course covers a structured process: identify the risk, assess how likely and severe it is, select and apply a control, then evaluate whether the control actually worked.
The evaluation step is where many risk assessment processes fall short. This course treats it as a required final step, not an afterthought, so controls get checked rather than just implemented and forgotten.
Companies use this course for workers and supervisors who are responsible for broader risk assessment work, beyond a single task's field-level hazard assessment.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
The evaluation step is what sets this apart. Most training stops at picking a control and never asks whether it worked.

Common questions
Questions buyers ask
How is this different from the Hazard Assessment Safety course?
- Hazard Assessment Safety focuses on identifying and controlling hazards for a specific task. Risk Assessment (CAN) covers the broader process of weighing multiple risks, selecting controls, and evaluating the cost of hazard control against the cost of leaving a hazard uncontrolled - aimed more at managers and supervisors building a risk management program.
How much does the course cost?
- The course is 49.99 CAD per seat. Use code ONTRACK10 for 10 percent off an individual purchase.
