Course Overview
Safety performance on comprehensive safety audit programmes degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Where audit programmes depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Participants test their assumptions about this area of occupational health and safety against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The course sets out a working method for comprehensive safety audit programmes that participants can apply the week they return. Mature organisations treat the occupational health and safety discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of audit programmes to standardise and which to leave flexible. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on comprehensive safety audit programmes are used deliberately. A common pattern is strong design of audit programmes paired with weak follow-through. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the wider occupational health and safety agenda that would make a visible difference.
