About this course

This course presents the basics of occupational safety and health in the workplace, focusing on hazards, accidents, injuries and how to control them. It starts with an introduction to the science of occupational safety and health, then gets to know the international standards organizations. After that it explains the definitions and types of hazards in two parts, the difference between hazard and risk, and the hierarchy of control that sets the priorities of prevention. Then it moves on to safety culture and types of accidents, risk analysis and assessment, and work sheets. The course also covers important practical topics such as confined spaces and hydrogen sulfide gas, the fire triangle, types of fire and how to put them out, manual handling, and safe mechanical lifting operations. It suits workers in factories, sites and facilities, new safety officers, and anyone who wants to understand the basics of this field. The learner does not need previous experience, because the explanation starts from the definitions. By the end, the learner can recognize hazards in their workplace, assess them, choose the right control method and handle fires and lifting work correctly.

Expected outcomes

  • Ability to analyze and assess risks in the workplace.
  • Dealing with accidents and preventing them professionally.
  • Promoting a culture of occupational safety within the organization.
  • Using appropriate tools and equipment to ensure safety.
  • Identifying types of fires and handling them efficiently.

Occupational Health and Safety

12 lectures
  1. Introduction to Occupational Safety and Health ScienceDefines occupational safety and health QHSSE and explains each letter: quality, health, safety, security and environment, why people, equipment and the environment must be protected, and what abbreviations like ISO mean.8:56
  2. Global Measurement OrganizationsIntroduces the local and international bodies that set occupational safety standards, such as ISO, OSHA, NIOSH and North Sea Lifting, and explains that safety reduces risk but cannot prevent accidents completely.9:15
  3. Definitions and Types of Risks - Part OneExplains the ALARP principle of reducing risk to the lowest reasonable level, the likelihood and severity matrix, and areas of safety such as food safety, hygiene, waste handling and electrical safety.10:44
  4. Definitions and Types of Risks - Part TwoExplains equipment safety, direct and indirect damage, defensive driving, ergonomics, chronic versus acute illness, and hazard types: chemical, physical, biological, mechanical and psychological.11:33
  5. Risk and Hazard and Control Pyramid - Part OneDistinguishes hazard from risk with examples, and begins the hierarchy of control: elimination, substitution, engineering controls and administrative controls.11:40
  6. Risk and Hazard and Control Pyramid - Part TwoCompletes the hierarchy of control with personal protective equipment as the last line of defense, applying it to individuals and companies, and explains KATE (knowledge, ability, training, experience), safety policy and safety plan.12:48
  7. Safety Culture and Types of IncidentsExplains safety culture and its stages, the link between safe acts and safe conditions, incident types including the near miss, protective equipment, and color coding.25:56
  8. Risk Analysis and Assessment and Work Papers - Part OneExplains risk analysis and assessment before any job: rating likelihood and severity on a scale, converting them into a green, yellow or red level, and deciding whether to accept or reduce the risk.14:57
  9. Risk Analysis and Assessment and Work Papers - Part TwoExplains safety paperwork: work permits, job safety analysis, journey management plans, checklists, isolation certificates, pre-job meetings, the operations steering committee and the STOP Card system.16:09
  10. Confined Spaces and Hydrogen Sulfide GasStarts practical safety with falling objects, then confined spaces and their work, entry and rescue procedures with harness, winch and watchman, hydrogen sulfide gas, and the SDS sheet.35:50
  11. Fire Pyramid and Manual HandlingExplains the difference between flash point and fire point, the fire triangle and its components, the properties of H2S gas, incorrect manual handling, its control hierarchy and safe load limits.18:32
  12. Types of Fire and Firefighting and Safe Mechanical Lifting OperationsExplains center of gravity when lifting, fire extinguishing by starving, cooling and smothering, fire classes and matching extinguishers, working at height, and periodic inspection of lifting equipment.15:06
