Design the permit and control regime appropriate to the hazards in safety as a core value.
Building Strategies to Make Safety a Core Organisational Value
Move safety as a core value from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Regulators judge safety as a core value on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Safety performance on core value degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Participants gain a realistic view of what this strand of occupational health and safety costs and what it returns. The version of safety as a core value described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the occupational health and safety discipline, not around theory headings. Participants apply core value to their own work site throughout, so the output is directly usable. It suits anyone whose decisions touch safety as a core value, in large organisations and small ones alike. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in core value that were visible long before the incident. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this aspect of occupational health and safety sustainable.

Translate policy on safety as a core value into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.
Recognise early indicators that core value is drifting away from its intended design.
Close out corrective actions on safety as a core value rather than leaving them open.

Core value: occupational health and long-term exposure
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The permit regime core value needs, and the one it does not

Session 2Why a good control on core value stops being used
- Ask the people doing safety as a core value what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Define acceptance criteria for core value in advance.

Core value: emergency response and rescue
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Moving core value from approval to execution

Core value: procedures, permits and practical controls
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Assessing the hazards in core value without turning it into paperwork

Session 2Who is competent to work on core value, and how you know
