Course Objectives
- Equip participants with the knowledge to identify workplace hazards and select appropriate PPE.
- Develop competency in conducting HIRARC to manage workplace risks effectively.
- Enhance understanding of hearing conservation principles and practices to protect workers from noise-induced hearing loss.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Understand the purpose and types of PPE and demonstrate proper selection and usage.
- Conduct a HIRARC process, including identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing appropriate controls.
- Identify noise hazards, evaluate noise exposure, and implement effective hearing conservation measures.
- Align workplace safety practices with legal and regulatory standards.
Training Methodology
