Course Overview

Regulators judge field crisis operations rooms on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Almost every serious incident involving operations rooms was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. The programme converts the occupational health and safety capability from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of field crisis operations rooms to standardise and which to leave flexible. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the practice within occupational health and safety, not for observers of it. The most reliable predictor of sound operations rooms is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of field crisis operations rooms rather than to abstract argument. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting operations rooms and under-invest in testing it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the occupational health and safety capability survives a hostile question.
