HIRA — Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment Masterclass

Workplace inspection and risk assessment as a working system — legal requirements, hazard identification, corrective measures and the reports that make findings stick.

The programme

Employees are entitled to a safe workplace, and the gap between that entitlement and reality is usually an inspection that never happened or a risk assessment nobody implemented. This masterclass covers the full cycle of occupational health and safety inspection: the legal requirements for conducting OHS inspections, planning them, conducting them to identify non-compliance, and reporting so findings drive correction. The cohort works through major occupational hazards — including hazardous substances, dangerous goods labelling, organic peroxides, and fire and explosion risk factors — determining who could be exposed and when, the duties of manufacturers and suppliers, and implementing the outcome of the risk assessment inside a functioning OHS management system.

What you will do

Apply the legal requirements governing occupational health and safety inspections.
Plan and conduct OHS inspections that identify non-compliance in the workplace.
Assess hazardous substances risks — including dangerous goods labelling and heat- and contamination-sensitive organic peroxides.
Determine who could be exposed and when, including fire and explosion risk factors.
Write inspection reports with the information that makes them actionable, and quantify the impact of non-compliance.
Implement the outcome of the risk assessment and take corrective measures that hold.

Who attends

  • HSE managers and officers responsible for workplace safety
  • Inspection leads and safety committee members
  • Supervisors and line managers accountable for safe conditions
  • Compliance and audit staff

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.
