Course Introduction

The Diploma in Workplace Risk Assessment and Safety Auditing is designed to develop professional knowledge and practical competencies in workplace hazard identification, risk assessment, safety auditing, occupational health and safety management, risk control, legal compliance, and continual improvement.

The course focuses on developing competent workplace risk assessment and safety auditing professionals who can identify workplace hazards, evaluate occupational risks, conduct safety inspections, assess compliance with applicable requirements, recommend corrective actions, and support the implementation of effective occupational health and safety management systems.

Participants will learn how to conduct Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA), Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC), Job Safety Analysis (JSA), workplace safety inspections, compliance audits, incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action management.

The course also covers risk assessment methodologies, hierarchy of controls, occupational health and safety legislation, machine safety, electrical safety, chemical safety, fire safety, ergonomics, occupational health hazards, emergency preparedness, contractor safety, permit-to-work systems, and workplace safety performance monitoring.

With particular emphasis on Bangladesh's industrial, commercial, RMG, textile, manufacturing, construction, and institutional environments, participants will gain practical knowledge of applicable occupational health and safety requirements, Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended), Bangladesh Labour Rules, 2015 (as amended), Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC), and relevant international occupational health and safety practices.

The course will also introduce relevant international standards and frameworks, including ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, ISO 19011 Guidelines for Auditing Management Systems, ILO occupational safety and health principles, and relevant NFPA standards.

Through practical exercises, workplace risk assessment, safety inspection, audit simulations, incident investigation, case studies, assignments, and corrective action planning, participants will develop the skills required to identify workplace risks, evaluate safety performance, improve compliance, prevent occupational injuries and illnesses, and strengthen organizational safety management systems.
