INTRODUCTION

How often do workplace incidents begin with hazards that were visible, familiar, and yet overlooked? Why do some organisations continue to face unsafe acts, near misses, repeated exposures, and preventable accidents even when work activities appear routine? In many cases, the problem is not that hazards do not exist, but that they are not identified early enough, assessed properly, or controlled effectively. When risks are underestimated or left unmanaged, the consequences can be serious: injuries, operational disruption, property damage, compliance issues, financial loss, and damage to organisational reputation.

In Malaysia, the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (Act 514) places a duty on employers to ensure, so far as practicable, the safety, health, and welfare at work of their employees. This is best supported through a systematic HIRARC approach that helps organisations identify hazards, evaluate risks, and determine suitable control measures before incidents occur. It also aligns with ISO 45001, which provides a framework for managing risks and improving safety performance.

This 2-day programme is designed to provide participants with an understanding of Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) for workplace application. Participants will learn how to identify hazards across different work activities, assess risks using a logical and consistent approach, and determine appropriate control measures based on the hierarchy of controls. The programme also highlights common weaknesses in workplace risk assessment, including incomplete hazard recognition, weak control planning, and poor follow-through, which can reduce the effectiveness of safety efforts.

Through interactive discussions, practical examples, guided exercises, and workplace-based case scenarios, participants will gain the confidence to apply HIRARC more effectively in their own work environment. By the end of the programme, participants will be better equipped to contribute to safer work practices, stronger compliance, improved risk awareness, and a more proactive safety culture within the organisation.
