WHO THIS COURSE SERVES
Start with the work. Build the right capability.
01The source names hazard identification, risk evaluation, the hierarchy of controls, risk registers, and reviewing and communicating findings.
02The assessment should be connected to the work being considered; the source does not prescribe a particular matrix, software or regulatory method.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
What you should be able to explain or do.
01
Describe a work activity and identify its hazards and people who may be affected.
02
Evaluate risk in the context of the selected programme rather than assume a single scoring method.
03
Use the hierarchy of controls to consider potential risk-reduction measures.
04
Record, review and communicate findings using the programme’s agreed approach.
DETAILED COURSE OUTLINE
From principle to workplace decision.
01MODULE / 01
Define the activity and identify hazards
Start with the work being assessed, identify relevant hazards and consider who may be exposed.
WORKPLACE LENS
Workplace lens: observe a task and consider the people carrying it out, nearby workers and other affected parties.
02MODULE / 02
Evaluate risk and existing precautions
Consider risk in relation to the hazards and the controls already in place, using the method agreed for the selected programme.
WORKPLACE LENS
Workplace lens: check whether a stated precaution is actually relevant to the task and available to the people doing it.
03MODULE / 03
Select controls and record actions
Use the hierarchy of controls to consider suitable measures and record findings in the agreed risk-register or assessment format.
WORKPLACE LENS
Workplace lens: distinguish an action that changes the work from a reminder that relies only on individual attention.
04MODULE / 04
Review and communicate findings
Consider how assessment findings are shared with relevant people and reviewed when the work or its controls change.
WORKPLACE LENS
Workplace lens: identify who needs to understand a proposed action and how follow-up could be recorded.

Showing 10 of 10 questions01What is workplace risk assessment?
It is a structured consideration of work hazards, the people who may be affected, risk, potential controls and how findings are recorded, reviewed and communicated. The SQMI source lists these themes but does not prescribe one method.
02What is the difference between a hazard and a risk?
A hazard is a potential source of harm; risk considers the possibility and consequences of harm in the work context. The course source lists hazard identification and risk evaluation as separate themes.
03What steps does the course explore?
The listed themes support a sequence of identifying hazards, evaluating risk, considering controls, recording findings, and reviewing and communicating them. Confirm the exact method used by the selected programme.
04Do I have to use a particular risk matrix?
The source does not specify a matrix, scoring scale or software. Ask SQMI which method is used in the selected programme and whether your employer’s format should be brought or followed.
05How does the hierarchy of controls fit in?
It is a listed course theme for considering controls after hazards and risk have been identified. The specific controls depend on the task and the method agreed for the programme.
06Will I create a risk register or assessment for my workplace?
Risk registers are a listed theme, but the source does not promise a site-specific deliverable or individual workplace exercise. Confirm any required work product and assessment with SQMI.
07Who should attend this training?
The source identifies HSE officers, managers, supervisors and safety representatives. It can be relevant to people expected to identify hazards, consider risk or communicate findings in their role.
08Is prior HSE or risk-assessment experience required?
The source page does not state an entry prerequisite. Confirm whether the selected programme is introductory or expects previous knowledge with SQMI before enrolment.
09How is completion assessed?
Completion requirements depend on the selected SQMI programme. Ask whether it includes a practical assessment, what criteria are used and whether any certificate is issued.
10How do I request the current scope, dates and fee?
Contact SQMI admissions for a written description of the programme, delivery options, assessment or exercise, current timetable and fee. The source does not publish fixed current dates or prices.
