Course Outcome

≥93% of participants will expand their expertise in eliminating workplace hazards by applying proven design and planning strategies across projects and facilities.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, the participant will be able to:

• Identify how injuries and exposure risks can be eliminated before work begins through intentional layout, material selection, and system design.
• Apply advanced safety planning methods to remove or reduce high-risk tasks in construction, operations, and maintenance.
• Evaluate facilities and processes using hazard analysis tools such as FMEA, HAZOP, and task-based risk modeling.
• Integrate hazard elimination principles into procurement, project management, engineering, and commissioning practices.
• Interpret safety design metrics, audit findings, and lessons learned to support continuous improvement and long-term risk reduction.

Who Should Enroll? 

• Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs): Safety leaders seeking to proactively reduce risk through facility and system design strategies that go beyond compliance-based controls.
• Associate Safety Professionals (ASPs): Professionals preparing for CSP certification who want to strengthen their understanding of how early design decisions impact long-term safety outcomes.
• Construction Health and Safety Technicians (CHSTs): Field-based safety professionals who want to influence upstream planning and prevent hazards from being built into construction projects.
• Safety Management Professionals (SMPs) (formerly SMS): Those responsible for overseeing organizational safety programs and managing performance systems who aim to embed safety into capital projects, procurement processes, and operational workflows.
• Design Engineers, Project Managers, and Facility Leads: Technical professionals involved in equipment layout, system planning, or facility maintenance who want to improve lifecycle safety through better coordination with safety and operations teams.
