Course Overview

Where oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Safety performance on gas risk degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this aspect of occupational health and safety. Buying a tool rarely fixes oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Comparative studies of this area of occupational health and safety across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The course covers gas risk at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk in their own setting. They leave able to brief senior management on gas risk in terms that support a decision. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within occupational health and safety will be evidenced six months later.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Write procedures for oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk that can be followed under real operating pressure.

02

Build the internal capability for gas risk rather than depending on external support indefinitely.

03

Prepare the evidence a regulator would expect to see on oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk.

04

Integrate gas risk into the management of change process.

05

Set leading indicators for oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk rather than relying on injury counts.

06

Set acceptance criteria for gas risk before work begins rather than after.

07

Adapt recognised practice on oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk to local constraints without hollowing it out.

Course Modules

01

Oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk: culture, human factors and why controls fail

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Testing oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk before relying on it

  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk.
  • Agree what will be standardised in gas risk and what will not.
  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk are proven before work starts.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around gas risk are understood.

Session 2Auditing gas risk in the field rather than in the file

  • Check that lessons from oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk reached other sites doing similar work.
  • Review whether gas risk is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
  • Set out the decisions in oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Verify permits covering gas risk are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
02

Gas risk: competence, authorisation and supervision

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Where gas risk typically breaks, and why

  • Rank the weaknesses in oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Define acceptance criteria for gas risk in advance.
  • Map the handovers in oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk between functions and secure them.
  • Audit application of gas risk controls at the workface.

Session 2Getting other functions to support gas risk

  • Set out how exceptions to oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk are requested and approved.
  • Make the reporting route for hazards in gas risk short and non-punitive.
  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk, do not just publish it.
  • Rehearse the briefing on gas risk that would follow an incident.
03

Gas risk: occupational health and long-term exposure

2 sessions · 8 points

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

  • Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk is current.
  • Confirm that controls on gas risk sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
  • Remove steps in oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Assess long-term health exposure created by gas risk and arrange surveillance.

Session 2Assessing the hazards in oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk without turning it into paperwork

  • Close out actions on oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Set leading indicators for gas risk that predict rather than count.
  • Test that protective equipment specified for oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk fits and is maintained.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to gas risk will be introduced.
04

Gas risk: hazard identification and risk assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Why a good control on gas risk stops being used

  • Ask the people doing oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk what makes the procedure hard to follow.
  • Compare the cost of gas risk with the cost of its absence.
  • Check the procedure for oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk against how the work is actually done.
  • Investigate the last incident involving gas risk to root cause, not to immediate cause.

Session 2The permit regime gas risk needs, and the one it does not

  • Establish the boundary of oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk and record what sits outside it.
  • Check that records of gas risk answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to oxygen deficiency and trapped gas risk.
  • Identify the hazards in gas risk and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
