Workplace Risk Assessment and Job Safety Analysis

Programme Summary

Develop practical risk assessments and job safety analyses that guide safer work rather than merely record hazards. Participants break tasks into manageable steps, identify who may be harmed, evaluate existing controls and select improvements using the control hierarchy. Workplace scenarios strengthen consultation, documentation and review decisions, including when conditions require work to stop and specialist advice.

Training Objectives

1 Strengthen systematic recognition of workplace hazard sources; 2 Improve evaluation of exposure and existing controls; 3 Develop practical task based risk assessment skills; 4 Promote worker consultation and clear control ownership; 5 Support review when conditions or activities change.

Learning Outcomes

1 Break a defined job into logical steps; 2 Identify exposed people and credible harm scenarios; 3 Evaluate existing controls using a supplied method; 4 Select improvements following the hierarchy of controls; 5 Produce a documented JSA with review triggers.

Target Audience

Line supervisors; Safety officers; Maintenance coordinators; Operations team leaders; Contractor supervisors; Worker safety representatives.

Target Industries

Manufacturing; Construction; Warehousing and logistics; Facilities services; Utilities; Food processing.

Course Contents

• Module 1 Risk Assessment Foundations: Hazards risk exposure and harm; Purpose scope and assessment boundaries; Duties competence and worker involvement.
• Module 2 Preparing the Assessment: Selecting tasks and available information; Routine nonroutine and emergency conditions; Identifying people and vulnerable groups.
• Module 3 Task Breakdown and Hazard Recognition: Defining logical observable job steps; Equipment substances energy and work environment; Human organisational and interface factors.
• Module 4 Evaluating Existing Controls: Likelihood severity and credible consequences; Control reliability and exposure frequency; Risk matrix limitations and uncertainty.
• Module 5 Selecting Further Controls: Elimination substitution and engineering options; Administrative measures and protective equipment; Checking feasibility and introduced hazards.
• Module 6 Writing a Practical JSA: Clear steps hazards and required controls; Responsibility timing and residual risk; Linking permits instructions and emergency arrangements.
• Module 7 Communicating and Implementing Controls: Worker briefing and understanding checks; Confirming critical controls before work; Stop work escalation and changed conditions.
• Module 8 Review and Applied Assessment: Change incidents and review triggers; Observing control effectiveness in practice; Updating records and communicating revisions.

Assessment

• 40 single best answer questions, including applied scenarios; one mark per question.
• 60 minute invigilated digital examination with identity verification. Approved accessibility adjustments preserve the assessed competence.
• Supplied risk matrix, task data and JSA template allowed; internet, AI and personal notes prohibited.
• Individual applied assessment (30 minutes): Prepare a risk assessment and JSA for a supplied maintenance task. Identify exposed people, select controls, assign responsibilities and explain the pre-start conditions, stop-work triggers and review arrangements.
• Assessment criteria: Complete task-specific hazard identification; Justified controls reflecting the control hierarchy; Clear responsibilities and practical review triggers.
• Pass each component separately: 30/40 written marks (75%) and at least 70% on the applied task.
• All mandatory criteria must pass: Stop and escalate work when a specified critical control is missing; Do not treat a low numerical score as permission for uncontrolled serious hazards.
• Individual results and feedback are provided. One reassessment may follow coaching under the published enrolment terms.

Certification

• Successful learners receive a TQCSI Arabia digital Certificate of Successful Completion.
• The certificate records the learner name, exact programme title, teaching hours, completion date and unique verification reference.
• Verified identity, full attendance and separate written and applied passes are required; all mandatory critical criteria must be met.
• Proposed issue target: within 30 calendar days of approved results and settlement of applicable fees.
• Records assessed risk-assessment and JSA skills; it does not appoint a statutory competent person or authorise high-risk work.
• Attendance confirmation may record completed hours for unsuccessful learners; it does not certify successful completion.
