About this course
Workplace safety depends on recognizing hazards, selecting controls and learning from incidents before the same conditions recur. This free course surveys those foundations across general industry and construction-related situations.
The Institute of Occupational Safety and Leadership Development covers risk assessment, protective equipment, work permits, emergency response, excavation, scaffolding, fall protection and incident investigation. The breadth makes it an orientation, not authorization to perform hazardous work.

Skills you’ll gain
- Distinguish hazards, risks, unsafe acts and unsafe conditions

- Recognize major excavation, scaffolding and fall hazards

The opening section establishes hazard identification and risk assessment, then introduces PPE and common safety documents. These documents help organize work, but completing a form does not replace competent supervision or effective controls.
The middle sections cover excavation, temporary work at height, gases, fire, chemicals and confined spaces. These are high-risk activities. Learners must follow site procedures, local law, equipment instructions and training from a competent person before participating in them.
The final section connects machine and manual-handling hazards with incident investigation and continual improvement. The course totals 1 hour 27 minutes across 20 lectures. Its public title uses “certification,” but free enrollment and this WikiFree listing do not promise a regulated professional credential.
Use the course to improve questions you ask at work: what can cause harm, who may be exposed, which higher-level controls are available, and how will the control be verified? Do not use an online overview as a substitute for task-specific instruction.
