Defining Hazard and Risk

Unless you do a dangerous job, going to work might not seem like a risky thing to do. But, we’re all likely to face some level of risk in our workplaces. And even though risk in a school might not sound as bad as balancing on a tiny ledge 300 feet up, it could be just as dangerous. So, every school needs to keep risk to a minimum, by reducing hazards. This online training course will demystify hazards and risks and show you how successful risk management can stop your school from turning into a danger zone.
