This is the best-stocked field in our catalogue, and not by chance: bauxite, gold and iron carry training obligations few providers cover in French and remotely. The programme starts from a site's real hazards — electrical, mechanical, chemical, fire, work at height, confined spaces — and runs through to documenting them, since a hazard controlled but unrecorded remains a hazard in front of an inspector.
Learning objectives
- Run a risk assessment on a workstation and document it
- Issue a work permit and see it respected
- Run a safety talk that actually changes a behaviour
- Produce the records a regulatory inspection requires
