Study Outcomes

  1. Identify Workplace Hazards -

    Recognize and categorize common workplace risks such as slips, trips, electrical hazards, and chemical exposures.

  2. Apply Safety Protocols -

    Implement established health and safety procedures to prevent accidents and maintain a secure work environment.

  3. Analyze Emergency Procedures -

    Evaluate proper steps for responding to incidents like fires, spills, or medical emergencies.

  4. Interpret Safety Signage -

    Understand and act upon safety signs and labels to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

  5. Develop Hazard Response Skills -

    Demonstrate appropriate actions for identifying and mitigating hazards during routine tasks.

  6. Boost Induction Exam Confidence -

    Prepare strategically for your induction exam by applying learned concepts in scenario-based questions.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Hierarchy of Controls -

    Review the five-level hierarchy of controls: Elimination, Substitution, Engineering Controls, Administrative Controls, and PPE. A handy mnemonic is "ESEPAP" (Every Serious Employee Prefers Absolute Protection) to remember the order of priority. Applying higher-level controls first significantly reduces hazards before relying on personal protective equipment.

  2. Fire Safety Procedures -

    Memorize RACE (Rescue, Alarm, Contain, Extinguish/Evacuate) and PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) for effective fire response, as outlined by NFPA and OSHA. Scenario drills help reinforce quick decision-making when the alarm sounds. Regular walkthroughs ensure you know exit routes, extinguisher locations, and refuge areas.

  3. Risk Assessment Fundamentals -

    Use the formula Risk = Likelihood × Severity to quantify hazards and plot them on a 5×5 matrix, per HSE guidance. For example, a chemical spill with likelihood 3 and severity 4 yields a risk score of 12 (High), triggering immediate controls. Color-coded matrices (green, amber, red) help prioritize mitigation steps.

  4. PPE Selection and Fit Testing -

    Select PPE based on hazard type - respirators, goggles, gloves - and verify standards like ANSI or EN ratings. Always conduct fit testing for tight-seal respirators and train on donning/doffing procedures to prevent contamination. Store and inspect PPE regularly to confirm integrity and expiry dates.

  5. Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) Essentials -

    Follow OSHA 1910.147: Identify energy sources, de-energize machinery, apply locks/tags, and verify zero energy before maintenance. A simple checklist reduces human error: "Identify - Shutdown - Isolate - Verify." Periodic audits of LOTO procedures bolster compliance and protect maintenance crews.
