Hazard assessment training helps workers, supervisors, crew leads, safety coordinators and joint health and safety committee members find hazards before work starts, rate the risk and put controls in place that still work on a busy day.
A hazard assessment is more than a form. Crews need to know how to break a task into steps, recognize the energy that can hurt someone, choose controls from the top of the hierarchy and stop when conditions change. Supervisors need to know how to review an assessment and confirm the controls are really in place.
Calgary Safety Consultants delivers this training online, live virtually and in the classroom for employers across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Group sessions can use your own job hazard analysis (JHA) and field-level hazard assessment (FLHA) forms, tasks and workplace examples.

Group training
Most hazard assessments fail in the same few places: a form copied from yesterday, a hazard that has been there so long nobody sees it, a high-energy hazard controlled only by a sign, or a control that sits on paper but not at the work. Group hazard assessment training gives your team one shared method, so the assessment on the form matches the work in the field.
The training connects hazard identification, risk rating, the hierarchy of controls, JHAs, FLHAs, toolbox talks and supervisor review. Examples can be drawn from construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, warehousing, health care, municipal work, agriculture, retail and office settings.
Group sessions can be built around your hazard assessment forms, risk matrix, high-risk tasks and recent incidents or near misses. Use the contact form to discuss participants, delivery and timing. Individual learners can enrol in the online course and start today.
Delivery options
Choose the format that fits your team, your schedule and how much of the training you want built around your own workplace.
Live virtual and classroom sessions are scheduled for workplace groups. Session length, exercises, materials and certificate arrangements are confirmed in your training proposal before booking.
Why it matters
Every Canadian jurisdiction expects employers to identify hazards and control them, but the rules differ across the federal jurisdiction, the provinces and the territories. Alberta, for example, sets out hazard assessment, worker participation and the order of controls in Part 2 of the Alberta OHS Code. Good hazard assessment training helps people meet those expectations in practice, not just on paper. Depending on the format, the training can include:
Poor hazard assessments show up as injuries, workers’ compensation claims, stopped work and repeat audit findings. Strong ones show up as crews that plan the job, bring the right equipment and know when to stop. Training gives supervisors and workers a common language for hazards, risk and controls, which makes toolbox talks, inspections and incident follow-up more useful.
The course pays close attention to high-energy hazards, such as falls from height, moving equipment, stored pressure, electrical energy and suspended loads, because they cause the most serious injuries. Participants learn that every high-energy hazard needs a direct control, like a guardrail, a physical barrier or verified lockout, and that signs, reminders and “be careful” are not enough on their own.
Training does not qualify anyone for high-risk work such as lockout, confined space entry or electrical work, and it does not replace site-specific orientation or competency verification. It gives participants a structured method for finding hazards, choosing controls and confirming those controls work.
When your hazard assessments need more than training, our hazard assessments, JHAs and workplace inspections consulting service can review your formal assessment, build JHAs for critical tasks and help supervisors verify controls in the field.
Course content
The training follows four modules. In group sessions, the depth of each module is adjusted to the audience:
The online hazard assessment course has 16 lessons, each with a narrated video, written lesson notes and a three-question knowledge check that requires 100% to continue. The six-question final quiz requires 80%. Live virtual and classroom sessions cover the same outcomes with more discussion, group exercises and time on your own forms.
Participants practise writing hazard statements that name the source, where it is and how contact could happen, rather than vague entries such as “slips” or “be careful.” They learn to give each control an owner and a due date, and to check that the control is in place before ticking it off.
We do not replace the employer’s accountability. The employer remains responsible for its hazard assessments, controls and worker training. Calgary Safety Consultants provides the training, practical tools and guidance within the agreed scope.
How group training works
We confirm the participants, number of people, locations, industry and the hazard assessment forms you use now.
We recommend online, live virtual, classroom or a blend, and agree on the session length, exercises and materials.
You review the scope, timing, preparation, certificate arrangements and price before anything is booked.
We deliver the training, share attendance records and, where agreed, review a sample of completed JHAs or FLHAs afterward.
Common questions
Clear answers about participants, learning outcomes, delivery formats, course length, certificates and group customization.
Hazard assessment and control training teaches participants how to identify hazards, rate risk, choose controls using the hierarchy of controls and confirm those controls work. It covers formal hazard assessments, job hazard analyses (JHAs), field-level hazard assessments (FLHAs), toolbox talks and supervisor review, with a focus on high-energy hazards that cause serious injuries.
The training suits workers, contractors, supervisors, crew leads, safety coordinators, managers, business owners and joint health and safety committee members or representatives who complete, review or approve hazard assessments. Supervisors and program owners get added guidance on reviewing assessments and verifying controls.
Yes. Individual learners can take the self-paced online course at any time. Workplace groups can book live virtual training by video conference or classroom training at their workplace or another location. The right format depends on the number of participants, locations and how much customization you want.
The online course has 16 lessons and takes about 4 to 5 hours, estimated from just under 4 hours of video plus the knowledge checks and final quiz. Live virtual and classroom session length depends on the audience, exercises and customization, and is confirmed in the training proposal.
Yes. Virtual and classroom sessions can be built around your hazard assessment forms, risk matrix, high-risk tasks and recent incidents or near misses, so participants practise on the records they will use after training. The online course uses Calgary Safety Consultants’ forms, and the same method applies to most employer forms.
The training teaches principles that apply in every Canadian jurisdiction and shows participants how to find the specific rules for federal, provincial and territorial workplaces. It is not approved by a regulator, and it does not replace the site-specific training employers must provide.
Online learners receive a Certificate of Completion after finishing all lessons and knowledge checks and passing the final quiz. Certificate arrangements for virtual and classroom sessions are confirmed in the proposal. A certificate records completion of awareness-level training, not qualification for high-risk work.
The online course is $39.99 CAD plus GST per learner, and employers can buy enrolments for several workers on the course page. Pricing for live virtual and classroom training depends on group size, location and customization and is provided in a defined proposal.
We confirm the audience, number of participants, preferred format, locations, current hazard assessment process and scheduling needs. Calgary Safety Consultants then recommends a suitable approach and provides a proposal, so you can review the scope, timing and preparation before booking.
