Build competence and authorisation requirements for anyone working on chemical exposure monitoring.
Designing Occupational Chemical Exposure Monitoring Programmes
Practical training in chemical exposure monitoring, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving chemical exposure monitoring was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Regulators judge the practice within occupational health and safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. The programme works equally well for those formalising this aspect of occupational health and safety for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Every module pairs a short input on chemical exposure monitoring with structured practice on the participant's own material. Moving this strand of occupational health and safety from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the wider occupational health and safety agenda, ready to be adapted internally. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in chemical exposure monitoring that were visible long before the incident. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this strand of occupational health and safety it covers ends in something applicable. The final session converts the week's work on the wider occupational health and safety agenda into commitments with owners and dates.

Session 2Rescue arrangements for chemical exposure monitoring that have been rehearsed
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for chemical exposure monitoring.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting chemical exposure monitoring.
- Investigate the last incident involving chemical exposure monitoring to root cause, not to immediate cause.

Chemical exposure monitoring: emergency response and rescue
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Why a good control on chemical exposure monitoring stops being used
- Prepare the summary of chemical exposure monitoring that senior management will read.
- Agree what will be standardised in chemical exposure monitoring and what will not.
- Confirm that controls on chemical exposure monitoring sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in chemical exposure monitoring is current.
Session 2The paperwork for chemical exposure monitoring that is actually needed
- Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in chemical exposure monitoring.
- Arrange the handover of chemical exposure monitoring so capability survives staff changes.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on chemical exposure monitoring.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in chemical exposure monitoring short and non-punitive.
Chemical exposure monitoring: leading indicators, audit and assurance
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating an incident involving chemical exposure monitoring without hunting for blame
- Review whether chemical exposure monitoring is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of chemical exposure monitoring before proposing changes.
- Agree the indicators that will show whether chemical exposure monitoring is improving.
- Identify the hazards in chemical exposure monitoring and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
Session 2Writing a procedure for chemical exposure monitoring people can follow at 3 a.m.
- Check that lessons from chemical exposure monitoring reached other sites doing similar work.
- Define the trigger that would require chemical exposure monitoring to be redesigned.
- Ask the people doing chemical exposure monitoring what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Record what was learned when chemical exposure monitoring did not go as planned.
Chemical exposure monitoring: contractors and shared workplaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Holding contractors on chemical exposure monitoring to your own standard
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for chemical exposure monitoring, do not just publish it.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for chemical exposure monitoring are proven before work starts.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by chemical exposure monitoring and arrange surveillance.
- Remove steps in chemical exposure monitoring that add effort without adding assurance.
Session 2Closing out chemical exposure monitoring and capturing what was learned
- Set the review interval for chemical exposure monitoring and who attends.
- Verify permits covering chemical exposure monitoring are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in chemical exposure monitoring.
- Audit application of chemical exposure monitoring controls at the workface.
