The daily, at-the-workface safety habit for every worker and crew: the field-level risk assessment (FLRA / FLHA / Take-5 / Take-2) done right before a task and again whenever conditions change. Where the Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment Fundamentals course teaches the methodology, this course is the point-of-work application.
