Where protective equipment maintenance depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Regulators judge the practice within occupational health and safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Ambition around this part of occupational health and safety outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of protective equipment maintenance and supervised application. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the wider occupational health and safety agenda is rarely technical. It concentrates on the parts of the occupational health and safety capability that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for protective equipment maintenance. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the practice within occupational health and safety. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider occupational health and safety agenda that participants can repeat annually.
