A single overlooked hazard on a factory floor or a construction site can shut down operations, trigger legal liability, and put lives at risk. Preventing that outcome is not about luck — it is about having a structured system for spotting risks before they turn into incidents.

This course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy walks participants through exactly that system: how to identify hazardous tasks and conditions, assess and categorize risk, put the right precautions in place, and build an occupational health and safety management system that holds up under real operating pressure.
