Who Should Enrol

These courses are ideal for safety representatives, supervisors, managers, contractors, and business owners who need to understand and manage operational risks.

Training Areas Covered

Global SHEQ offers a focused suite of courses that address both foundational and specialised risk management topics. Many clients combine our training with support services such as ISO-based management system development to strengthen internal procedures and prepare for certification or customer audits.

• Risk management fundamentals Core concepts, terminology, and practical steps to build and maintain a risk register.
• Hazard identification and risk assessment Techniques for task-based, process-based, and area-based assessments suited to South African workplaces.
• Operational and project risk Approaches for construction sites, shutdowns, contractor work, and multi-employer environments.
• ISO-aligned risk approaches How risk-based thinking supports ISO management systems for quality, environment, and safety.
• Incident and near-miss analysis Using events and near misses to update controls, improve procedures, and reduce future exposure.

How Our Risk Courses Are Delivered

Training is delivered through guided online modules, downloadable resources, and, where required, facilitator-led virtual or on-site sessions. This mix helps South African organisations with dispersed teams standardise risk practices across provinces and sites.

Learners gain access to templates such as risk assessment forms, risk registers, and action plans that can be adapted to their workplace. For organisations with existing SHEQ structures, our trainers can align course material with your policies and procedures for smooth integration.

Integrated Support Beyond Training

Global SHEQ provides more than theoretical content; we support organisations in putting risk learning into practice. Many clients pair our short courses with specialised OHS training programmes to ensure that both managers and frontline workers understand their roles in managing risk.

Where a more comprehensive approach is needed, we assist with the design, implementation, and continual improvement of integrated systems through our broader Global SHEQ services. This joined-up approach helps ensure that risk registers, procedures, and training all support the same objectives and legal duties.

Selecting the Right Course for Your Team

Different organisations require different levels of depth, depending on their risk profile and regulatory exposure. A small office-based business may need foundational awareness, while a high-risk site could benefit from in-depth training for supervisors and SHEQ personnel.

Our training team can help you map course options against job roles, site requirements, and audit findings. You can also explore the full training portfolio on our course overview page to see how risk modules fit alongside safety, environmental, and quality topics.
