Risk Assessment Training South Africa
Risk Assessment Training South Africa
Risk Assessment Training in South Africa is the identification of the risks that may affect the achievement of the objectives of an organization and its management during a specified period.
The identification of risks should be based on the risk environment, the objectives of the organization and the uncertainties involved in achieving those objectives. Risk assessments should be carefully defined to avoid confusion with other processes such as impact or vulnerability assessments.
The South African Society of Training Practitioners (SASTP) is the only body in South Africa that oversees and regulates Health and Safety Training. SASTP is a member of the International Certification Accreditation Council (ICAC) and fully subscribes to the ICAC Code of Practice for Certification Bodies.
The SASTP provides a recognized National qualification to the training industry. All training providers who wish to provide occupational health and safety related training must register with the SASTP who will ensure that the training organization is able to meet the minimum requirements providing training within South Africa.

South Africa is in a period of intense social and political transformation and in the midst of this change we will be experiencing new and complex risks arising from our historically violent society. A number of recent incidents relating to civil unrest and the gathering storm of social change, have highlighted how important it is for people in leadership roles to be able to assess such risks.
Long known as rich in mineral resources, South Africa is potentially rich in human resources too. We have a skilled labour force, but we still lack the professionals required in risk management.
If we want to become a world-class society we need to develop the skills and attitudes necessary for this and risk management is an important part of that development.
Risk Assessment Training is a skill that has been used by companies for a few years now. Risk is defined as the probability of injury, loss or damage from a hazard. Risk is also measured by the likelihood of a threat materialising and the severity of the outcome. A risk assessment, therefore, is a process of identifying, analysing and evaluating all potential dangers and determining how best to control them or reduce their likelihood.
What is risk assessment training?
Risk assessment training includes steps to follow to identify hazards and risks within a workplace and to assess them with regard to how to control them.
Generally, this involves carrying out an assessment of incident reports and any other data available, followed by discussion with staff members at all levels.
An evaluation of the risks involved in each activity is then made, along with decisions on how best to control or reduce them.
