Course Overview
In any work environment, hazard awareness and control are key to keeping you and your coworkers safe. We often don't have difficulty identifying hazards like electrocution, getting struck by a piece of machinery, or slips, trips, and falls. But sometimes it is more difficult to identify the human factors, like fatigue, that contribute to hazards.
