Course Overview

Almost every serious incident involving respiratory equipment conformity was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Regulators judge this part of occupational health and safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of occupational health and safety has actually achieved. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place respiratory equipment conformity among the areas with the widest performance spread. Plans for the occupational health and safety capability often fail at the handover point between functions. This programme builds this aspect of occupational health and safety from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Participants who influence respiratory equipment conformity without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the wider occupational health and safety agenda is examined, not just described. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of occupational health and safety that would make a visible difference.
