Introduction to Hazard Identification

Introduction to Hazard Identification

A new program for 2019 will help equip employees with the knowledge and skills to identify hazards and manage risk in the workplace.

Hazard identification is a recurring factor at all levels of the organization when it comes to incidents at Teck. Introduction to Hazard Identification has been developed to help our company improve in this area and will begin rolling out across Teck in 2019.

Participants will develop a common understanding of hazard, hazard types, risk and controls. They’ll also learn the skills to apply this knowledge in the workplace and understand the importance of practicing these skills willfully every day.

To learn more about Introduction to Hazard Identification, including how to become a facilitator, please speak to your supervisor.
