Hazard Recognition In Healthcare Environments For Office And Facilities Personnel

Looking both ways before crossing the street is an effective safety rule. It allows us to see any vehicles that might hit us before we step into the road. As this course shows, this same principle, looking for hazards in advance before starting an activity, also applies in the healthcare workplace.

By introducing the concept of hazard recognition, this course clearly explains the correlation between overlooking or ignoring workplace hazards and the occurrence of workplace accidents. And even though it’s not possible to prepare for all potential hazards or to prevent every incident, completion of this course teaches office and facilities personnel how anticipating, recognizing, and properly responding to the various types of hazards they’re likely to encounter, minimizes the effects on the facility, themselves, and their co-workers.

Teach this course to help ensure all office and facility employees are provided with a sound basis for recognizing and dealing with hazards in the healthcare environment.
