Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment — Free Training for Every Worker (Module 2)

The accident you prevent is invisible — and preventing it starts with one skill: seeing danger before it moves. This is Module 2 of the free Qlause Safety Series: hazard identification and risk assessment for manufacturing and industrial workplaces, taught the way experienced assessors actually work. You'll learn to hunt hazards in a pattern (including where they hide — non-routine work), rate risk with two honest questions, use the risk matrix and the hierarchy of controls as working tools, and run the 60-second personal risk check before every task. Built to align with the principles shared by South African law (OHS Act / HIRA), US OSHA, the EU Framework Directive and ISO 45001 — usable on any site, in any region. 📥 FREE MODULE PACK — 10-question quiz, toolbox talk, attendance register and the 10-minute Hazard Hunt worksheet: https://qlause.app ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Welcome 0:40 What you'll take away 1:22 The accident you prevent is invisible 2:05 The ground rule 2:46 Harm = energy, uncontrolled 3:44 How assessors actually look 4:33 The hazards that hide 5:25 Risk = how likely × how bad 6:16 The risk matrix 7:08 The four lies 8:01 Judging severity — worst credible outcome 8:50 The hierarchy as a toolkit 9:44 Controls only count if they're real 10:36 The five-step risk assessment 11:33 Your part in formal assessments 12:21 When things change, the risk changes 13:07 The 60-second check 13:59 Know your local rules (SA · USA · EU · ISO 45001) 14:51 What this training is — and isn't 15:44 Five things to keep 16:32 Free pack & next module 👷 WHO THIS IS FOR All employees · safety reps · team leads · HSE and SHEQ managers · anyone contributing to HIRA / risk assessments · ISO 45001 implementation teams. ◀ PREVIOUS: Module S1 — Safety Induction (rights, duties & safety culture) ▶ NEXT: Module S3 — Personal Protective Equipment.
