Hazard Identification (HAZID) Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply hazard identification techniques to recognize potential sources of harm in the workplace.
• Analyze workplace processes and environments to determine risk levels and prioritize actions.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of existing control measures and recommend improvements.
• Design a hazard identification and risk assessment plan for a specific work area.
• Implement risk communication strategies to inform and involve stakeholders in safety practices.
• Demonstrate the use of relevant legislation and standards in hazard identification activities.

Target Audience

This course is designed for health and safety officers, team leaders, supervisors, and any employees responsible for workplace safety. It is also suitable for those seeking to enhance their understanding of hazard identification as part of their professional development.

Prerequisites

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals are integral to the HAZID course, providing learners with hands-on experience in applying hazard identification techniques in realistic scenarios. Through guided exercises, learners will practise using checklists, conducting job safety analyses, performing risk assessments, and participating in HAZOP-style reviews, thereby bridging theory and practice.

Practical Activities

• Workplace Hazard Hunt — Learners conduct a simulated workplace inspection using checklists and hazard mapping to identify potential hazards in a mock environment. (4h)
• Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Exercise — In small groups, learners perform a JSA for a selected job task, breaking it into steps and identifying hazards and controls. (4h)
• Risk Assessment and Prioritisation Simulation — Using a case study, learners conduct a risk assessment, rate hazards using a risk matrix, and prioritise controls. (4h)
• Mini-HAZOP and What-If Analysis Workshop — Learners participate in a facilitated HAZOP and What-If analysis on a simplified process, identifying deviations and potential hazards. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
