A procedure for environmental leak response that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Safety performance on the occupational health and safety capability degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the practice within occupational health and safety is examined, not just described. The professional literature on environmental leak response converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of this aspect of occupational health and safety to standardise and which to leave flexible. This programme builds this part of occupational health and safety from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for environmental leak response, not for observers of it. The difficulty is not agreeing that this area of occupational health and safety matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of occupational health and safety ready to put in front of a decision maker.
