This highly interactive and engaging 2-day Part Two training is based on the Certification Training Program Standard and takes JHSC members on a journey.
The focus is on strengthening participants' understanding of the RACE process (Recognition, Assessment, Control and Evaluation) so they can apply this to ALL hazards in their workplace, not just those covered in the course.
This training is delivered by experienced health and safety experts that know your industry and the risks you face.
