Hazard Identification Techniques and
     Applications
     Introduction :
     Hazards may occur in every workplace and their consequences can be devastating also for business,
     sustainability, employees’ safety and health. At this regard, hazards identification plays an important
     role in order to prevent major accidents and limit their consequences to persons and the environment. 
     Objectives :
     At the end of this course, attendants will be able to understand, apply and compare the techniques
     commonly used to identify the hazards associated with the operations of a business or undertaking.
