Covers internal site policies that supplement regulatory requirements. Trainees learn to locate, read, and apply site-specific documentation.
Chapter 3HideHide detailsSee detailsHazard Communication and Signage
Hazard Communication and Signage
Lesson 1 • Container Labelling and Product Identification
Covers requirements for labelling hazardous materials in storage and use. Ensures trainees can verify correct labelling and flag non-compliant containers.
Lesson 2 • Safety Data Sheets in Practice
Teaches the structure and practical use of safety data sheets for hazardous substances. Trainees locate critical information quickly during normal and emergency conditions.
Lesson 3 • Site Signage and Posted Warnings
Explains the meaning and placement of mandatory, warning, and informational signs. Connects sign literacy to safe navigation and task execution on site.
Lesson 4 • Hazard Communication Standards
Introduces the globally harmonised system for classifying and communicating chemical hazards. Establishes the foundation for reading all hazard-related materials on site.
Chapter 4HideHide detailsSee detailsLockout/Tagout and Energy Control
Lockout/Tagout and Energy Control
Lesson 1 • Restoring Equipment to Service
Teaches the controlled process for removing locks and returning equipment to operation. Ensures trainees understand that restoration is as critical as isolation.
Lesson 2 • Group Lockout and Complex Scenarios
Addresses multi-worker and multi-energy-source lockout situations. Prepares trainees for real-world complexity beyond single-person isolation tasks.
Lesson 3 • Lockout/Tagout Programme Requirements
Covers the regulatory and procedural requirements of an energy control programme. Establishes the framework within which all isolation tasks must be performed.
Lesson 4 • Executing the Lockout/Tagout Procedure
Provides step-by-step instruction for isolating, locking, and verifying zero energy state. Trainees practise each step in sequence to build procedural muscle memory.
Lesson 5 • Hazardous Energy Sources on Site
Identifies electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and thermal energy types. Builds recognition skills needed before any isolation procedure begins.
Chapter 5HideHide detailsSee detailsWorking at Heights and Fall Prevention
Working at Heights and Fall Prevention
Lesson 1 • Scaffolding Safety and Inspection
Covers scaffold types, load ratings, and pre-use inspection criteria. Trainees identify deficiencies that require removal from service before work begins.
Lesson 2 • Fall Hazard Recognition and Assessment
Identifies conditions that create fall risk, including edges, openings, and unstable surfaces. Connects hazard recognition to the hierarchy of fall protection controls.
Lesson 3 • Ladder Safety and Proper Use
Teaches ladder selection, setup, and safe climbing techniques for site conditions. Reduces ladder-related incidents through correct positioning and three-point contact.
Lesson 4 • Personal Fall Arrest Systems
Explains harness components, anchor points, and lanyard selection for fall arrest. Trainees fit, inspect, and connect a full personal fall arrest system correctly.
Lesson 5 • Aerial Work Platforms and Elevated Equipment
Addresses safe operation of scissor lifts, boom lifts, and similar elevated platforms. Trainees apply pre-operation checks and safe positioning practices.
