OHCC study plan

Define the five steps of the risk assessment process in writing and apply them to three hazards drawn from a real or hypothetical workplace

Classify ten sample hazards by type (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial, safety) and justify each classification

Rank a list of at least eight hazards using a documented likelihood-by-severity matrix and record the rationale for each score

Explain the hierarchy of controls and assign an appropriate control level to each ranked hazard

Select an appropriate qualitative or quantitative exposure assessment method for four described scenarios and state why each method fits

Interpret a sample air sampling result against an occupational exposure limit and state whether the exposure is acceptable

Describe the purpose and limitations of biological monitoring and when it complements air sampling

Outline a basic sampling strategy covering who, when, where, and how many samples

Explain the roles and responsibilities of the employer, supervisors, workers, and the joint health and safety committee in an OHS program

Draft the core elements of a written OHS program for a sample organization, including policy, roles, and reporting structure

Summarize how program elements such as inspections, audits, and management review interact to drive continual improvement

Connect exposure assessment results to program priorities and control planning

Identify the key duties of employers, supervisors, and workers under the applicable OHS statute and describe how the general duty clause is applied

Explain the worker rights to know, participate, and refuse unsafe work and describe the refusal process step by step

Describe the purpose and function of the joint health and safety committee, including composition and meeting requirements

Outline the reporting obligations for serious incidents, injuries, and occupational disease

Distinguish health surveillance from general health promotion and identify when surveillance is indicated by exposure type

Describe the purpose, timing, and confidentiality requirements of pre-placement and periodic medical examinations

Outline the steps of a structured incident investigation from scene preservation through root cause analysis

Apply a root cause method such as the five whys or a fishbone diagram to a described incident and identify contributing factors

Draft the components of an emergency response plan including roles, evacuation, and drill frequency

Conduct a training needs analysis for three job roles and identify required competencies

Write measurable learning objectives for a safety training session using action verbs and observable outcomes

Describe how adult learning principles and multiple delivery methods improve retention and competency

Explain how health surveillance findings feed back into training and control decisions

Describe the professional and ethical obligations of an OHS practitioner, including confidentiality, competence, and conflict of interest

Apply a decision framework to two ethical dilemmas involving reporting pressure or conflicting priorities

Select appropriate leading and lagging indicators to evaluate OHS program performance

Design a simple program evaluation using audit findings, incident trends, and leading indicators

Complete a timed full-length practice exam under exam conditions and record the score by domain

Review every missed question and write a corrected explanation citing the underlying concept

Revisit the two weakest domains and summarize the key points in your own words

Consolidate a one-page summary sheet of formulas, definitions, and regulatory duties for final review
