Hazard Recognition In Healthcare Environments For Office And Facilities Personnel

According to OSHA, workplace accidents account for more than 5,000 deaths and 3 million injuries and illnesses each year. Although employees can’t prevent every incident or foresee every type of potential hazard, when they learn to look for and recognize hazards before starting an activity, workplace safety dramatically improves.

Emphasizing how the hazard recognition process reduces accidents and injuries in the healthcare workplace, this course spotlights the procedures of hazard recognition for identifying and controlling workplace hazards. Upon completing the five lessons in this course (The Need for Hazard Recognition; Hazardous Conditions and Unsafe Acts; Identifying Hazards in Advance; “Real Time” Hazard Recognition; Investigating Accidents and Near Misses) office and facilities personnel learn how they can make the workplace safer by finding hazards and removing them or reducing their risk.

Present this course so all healthcare office and facilities personnel know how to identify and control or eliminate workplace hazards to reduce workplace accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
