Occupational Health Risk Assessment and Hazard Ranking for Mines

Develops the specialist skill of occupational health risk assessment, the structured process used to identify, quantify and rank health hazards that drive medical surveillance and control programmes at African mines. Participants learn to profile exposures to dust, noise, chemicals, heat and ergonomic stressors and to prioritise interventions. The programme links health risk assessment to surveillance, controls and legal obligations.
