Description

This course focuses on the Hierarchy of Controls, a template used by professionals to address workplace hazards effectively. The course covers engineering controls, administrative controls, work practices, and the role of personal protective equipment (PPE) in mitigating risks. Emphasizing the importance of prioritizing interventions, it guides learners through measures to remove hazards, modify work environments, establish control plans, and implement safe work practices, with PPE as the final line of defense. The course underscores the significance of employing a combination of these measures for enhanced workplace safety. Recognize the Hierarchy of Controls and understand the priority sequence of engineering controls, administrative controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment in addressing workplace hazards. Differentiate between engineering controls, administrative controls, and work practices, and apply knowledge in selecting the most effective interventions for specific workplace scenarios. Demonstrate an understanding of the critical role of personal protective equipment, including selection, fit testing, maintenance, and proper disposal, within the broader context of occupational health and safety.
