Mitigating Hazards Via the Hierarchy of Control

The objective of this programme is to introduce employees to the rights and responsibilities of both the individual and the organisation, and ultimately to avoid occupational diseases and injuries.

This includes:

• The concept of occupational Health and Safety and current legislation.

• Some of the dangers and hazards they may encounter at work.

• The basic methods of protecting themselves from these hazards.

• The occupational injuries and diseases that could occur if precautions are not taken.
