Course Overview
The cost of an incident involving post-disaster business continuity lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. Regulators judge this part of occupational health and safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Improvement in the wider occupational health and safety agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in post-disaster business continuity before they become incidents. The professional literature on this strand of occupational health and safety converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme works equally well for those formalising the occupational health and safety capability for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of post-disaster business continuity rather than to abstract argument. The programme takes participants through this area of occupational health and safety end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the occupational health and safety capability that would make a visible difference.
