Risk assessment and the hierarchy of control
The difference between a hazard and a risk, why PPE is last and what that actually means on site, how a job safety analysis differs from a site risk assessment, why a high near-miss reporting rate is a good sign, and what stop work authority costs the first time somebody uses it.
