Hazard recognition — the ability to identify, assess, and control workplace hazards BEFORE they cause injury — is the foundation of workplace safety. Under BC OHS Regulation Part 3 (Rights and Responsibilities), employers must ensure workers are trained to recognize hazards and assess risks in their work environment. Workers who can identify hazards prevent injuries; workers who can't get hurt.
Gama Safety Canada's Online Hazard Recognition course delivers WorkSafeBC-aligned foundational hazard identification training. Complete on any device at your own pace. Instant digital certificate. Physical wallet card mailed to your address at no extra cost.
The Hierarchy of Controls is the internationally recognized system for controlling workplace hazards — from most effective (elimination) to least effective (PPE):
Effective hazard control always starts at the top of the hierarchy. PPE alone is the least effective control and should never be the ONLY defence.
