Course Overview

A procedure for roof and structure fall risk that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Regulators judge fall risk on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this strand of occupational health and safety, not around theory headings. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting roof and structure fall risk and under-invest in testing it. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the wider occupational health and safety agenda improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what fall risk has actually achieved. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for roof and structure fall risk. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make fall risk hard in practice. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of occupational health and safety that each participant writes for their own organisation.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Set leading indicators for fall risk rather than relying on injury counts.

05

Recognise early indicators that roof and structure fall risk is drifting away from its intended design.

06

Design the permit and control regime appropriate to the hazards in fall risk.

07

Prepare the evidence a regulator would expect to see on roof and structure fall risk.

02

Fall risk: hazard identification and risk assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The permit regime fall risk needs, and the one it does not

  • Identify the hazards in roof and structure fall risk and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
  • Assess long-term health exposure created by fall risk and arrange surveillance.
  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for roof and structure fall risk are proven before work starts.
  • Check that lessons from fall risk reached other sites doing similar work.

Session 2Who answers for fall risk, and to whom

  • Rank the weaknesses in roof and structure fall risk by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on fall risk.
  • Close out corrective actions on roof and structure fall risk with a named owner and date.
  • Arrange the handover of fall risk so capability survives staff changes.
03

Fall risk: occupational health and long-term exposure

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating an incident involving fall risk without hunting for blame

  • Investigate the last incident involving roof and structure fall risk to root cause, not to immediate cause.
  • Set the review interval for fall risk and who attends.
  • Audit application of roof and structure fall risk controls at the workface.
  • Set leading indicators for fall risk that predict rather than count.

Session 2The decisions in roof and structure fall risk that cannot be delegated

  • Remove steps in roof and structure fall risk that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Check the procedure for fall risk against how the work is actually done.

  • Name a single owner for each element of fall risk.
04

Fall risk: emergency response and rescue

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Auditing fall risk in the field rather than in the file

  • Identify where judgement in fall risk is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Check that roof and structure fall risk still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Make the reporting route for hazards in fall risk short and non-punitive.

Session 2Reading the current state of fall risk honestly

  • Agree what will be standardised in roof and structure fall risk and what will not.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for fall risk.
  • Set out how exceptions to roof and structure fall risk are requested and approved.
  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for fall risk, do not just publish it.
