Risk Assessment & JSA
Course Overview
Effective risk assessment is the foundation of every safe operation. This course develops the skills required to identify hazards, evaluate risks, and implement control measures using structured risk assessment methods and Job Safety Analysis (JSA). Participants practice breaking down tasks into steps, applying the hierarchy of controls, using risk matrices, and documenting and communicating findings through toolbox talks – skills directly applicable to offshore, diving, and oil & gas worksites.
Every simulator in this course opens with a mandatory Risk Assessment Gate — identify the hazards, set the controls, and confirm the residual risk before the “permit to simulate” is issued — and every scenario injects live condition changes that demand dynamic risk assessment and Stop Work decisions, exactly as the field does.
