Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Every day, workers are exposed to a variety of hazards that can result in injury or illness. Many of us
are aware of this fact, but do we act like we are?
Methods exist to eliminate and control workplace hazards, yet every day workers put themselves at
risk. In 2012, the Workers’ Compensation Boards of Canada announced that the number of workplace-
related fatalities in Canada was reported at 977, just above the yearly average of 972. Even more
staggering, however, is that the number of injuries reported coming in just over 245,000. But these
statistics only scratch the surface. Neither of these figures accounts for the thousands of additional
workers who are injured or killed from under-reported illnesses and occupational diseases that go
unrecognized by the compensation system.
The numbers seem to suggest that—although we know our jobs are hazardous—we are not acting
safely. The reality is, however, that a large percentage of the workplace incidents that occur each year
are preventable. Hazard identification, assessment, and control are all processes that we can begin to
implement in our workplaces to help prevent injuries and fatalities from occurring.

The Challenge
Each work site has its own unique array of hazards that workers and management alike need to be
aware of. The challenge is in figuring out how we can prevent, mitigate, and respond to this myriad of
hazards?
In most cases, the answer to this question is in hazard assessment. With a little foresight and the time it
takes to stop, think, and assess the hazards in front of us, we can discover the hazards in our area,
observe their frequency of occurrence, assess the severity of their impact on the work site, and
determine which hazards pose the greatest threat to workers.
You may be thinking that that is not as easy as it sounds, and you’d be right. There is a lot to the
hazard assessment process. Luckily, there are strategies available to companies that are looking to
implement a more structured and effective hazard identification and assessment system. The strategies
covered in this online training course will help you overcome the uncertainties and difficulties of
establishing a plan for hazard control, including overcoming any erroneous beliefs you or your fellow
co-workers may have about incident causation and hazard risk levels.
The Benefits
As we know, it will be challenging to begin implementing hazard identification, assessment, and control
in your workplace. However, once you start consistently implementing the strategies and successfully
mitigating the hazards, your company will see a number of benefits. These may include improvements
in:
The effectiveness of worker training
Hazard awareness and recognition amongst employees
Your organization’s risk management standards and safe work practices
Additionally, effective hazard control can help reduce:
