Verify that contractors performing integrated safety management systems meet the same standard as direct employees.
Building Integrated Safety Management Systems at Organisational Level
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run integrated safety management systems properly.
Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving integrated safety management systems was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Where management systems depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. It treats this strand of occupational health and safety as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Most organisations already have a policy on integrated safety management systems; far fewer can show it working. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider occupational health and safety agenda. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of management systems is examined, not just described. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in integrated safety management systems that were visible long before the incident. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for management systems. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of occupational health and safety rather than a set of notes.
