Course Overview

A procedure for hazardous material road transport that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Regulators judge road transport on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this part of occupational health and safety, in large organisations and small ones alike. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place hazardous material road transport among the areas with the widest performance spread. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the occupational health and safety discipline it covers ends in something applicable. Progress on road transport is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for hazardous material road transport as they go. They acquire practical criteria for judging when road transport is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this aspect of occupational health and safety broken into steps someone can start on Monday.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Build a register of the risks attaching to hazardous material road transport and keep it current.

02

Audit the application of controls on road transport in the field, not on paper.

03

Write procedures for hazardous material road transport that can be followed under real operating pressure.

04

Anticipate the objections that road transport will attract internally and answer them in advance.

05

Investigate incidents involving hazardous material road transport to root cause without suppressing reporting.

06

Design emergency response and rescue arrangements covering road transport.

07

Handle the trade-offs in hazardous material road transport between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.

Course Modules

01

Hazardous material road transport: hazard identification and risk assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The hard cases in hazardous material road transport and how to reason about them

  • Make the reporting route for hazards in hazardous material road transport short and non-punitive.
  • Check that road transport still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Benchmark the organisation's hazardous material road transport against comparable operations.
  • Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on road transport.

Session 2Writing a procedure for road transport people can follow at 3 a.m.

  • Ask the people doing hazardous material road transport what makes the procedure hard to follow.
  • Rank the weaknesses in road transport by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Confirm that controls on hazardous material road transport sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
  • Draft the minimum viable safety procedure for road transport.
02

Road transport: protective equipment and its verification

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Why a good control on road transport stops being used

  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting hazardous material road transport.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around road transport are understood.
  • Assess long-term health exposure created by hazardous material road transport and arrange surveillance.
  • Identify where judgement in road transport is legitimate and where it is not.

Session 2Building the method for road transport step by step

  • Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in hazardous material road transport is current.
  • Verify permits covering road transport are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
  • Close out actions on hazardous material road transport rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Test that protective equipment specified for road transport fits and is maintained.
03

Road transport: procedures, permits and practical controls

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Holding contractors on road transport to your own standard

  • Check the procedure for hazardous material road transport against how the work is actually done.
  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for road transport are proven before work starts.
  • Compare the cost of hazardous material road transport with the cost of its absence.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to road transport.

Session 2Investigating an incident involving hazardous material road transport without hunting for blame

  • Anticipate the objections hazardous material road transport will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Set the review interval for road transport and who attends.
  • Audit application of hazardous material road transport controls at the workface.
  • Record who is authorised to work on road transport and when authorisation expires.
04

Road transport: culture, human factors and why controls fail

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Where road transport typically breaks, and why

  • Close out corrective actions on hazardous material road transport with a named owner and date.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates road transport is under control.
  • Identify the hazards in hazardous material road transport and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
  • Estimate the resource road transport requires to run as designed.

Session 2Making near-miss reporting on road transport safe to do

  • Review whether hazardous material road transport is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
  • Confirm that reporting on road transport reaches the people who can act.
  • Reduce the variation in how hazardous material road transport is carried out between teams.
  • Investigate the last incident involving road transport to root cause, not to immediate cause.
