Hazards lurk everywhere, whether it's something as minor as stubbing your toe on a table leg or something as major as electrocuting yourself on a live power line. When you work in a high-hazard environment, it is imperative that you and your employees are able to recognize and control hazards.

Controlling Hazardous Situations looks at ways to recognize hazards and control them before they become incidents. The program goes over the unsafe actions and conditions that can lead to incidents and ends with scenarios to practice recognition and control techniques.
