Course Overview

A procedure for occupational skin disease prevention that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Where disease prevention depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the practice within occupational health and safety so that teams can disagree productively about it. It is designed for mixed groups, so that occupational skin disease prevention is examined from more than one functional angle. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the occupational health and safety discipline hard in practice. They acquire practical criteria for judging when disease prevention is working and when it is only appearing to. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting occupational skin disease prevention and under-invest in testing it. Mature organisations treat disease prevention as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of occupational health and safety that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
