Course Overview

Regulators judge periodic facility risk assessment on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Where risk assessment depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Participants apply this area of occupational health and safety to their own work site throughout, so the output is directly usable. The course sets out a working method for periodic facility risk assessment that participants can apply the week they return. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of occupational health and safety under scrutiny. The most reliable predictor of sound risk assessment is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Buying a tool rarely fixes periodic facility risk assessment; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with risk assessment. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the occupational health and safety capability survives a hostile question.

04

Select and verify the protective equipment required for risk assessment.

05

Assess occupational health exposure arising from periodic facility risk assessment and arrange surveillance.

06

Define the scope and boundaries of risk assessment so that responsibility for it is unambiguous.

07

Write procedures for periodic facility risk assessment that can be followed under real operating pressure.

Periodic facility risk assessment: culture, human factors and why controls fail

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating an incident involving periodic facility risk assessment without hunting for blame

  • Close out actions on periodic facility risk assessment rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on risk assessment.
  • Identify the hazards in periodic facility risk assessment and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
  • Investigate the last incident involving risk assessment to root cause, not to immediate cause.

Session 2Rescue arrangements for risk assessment that have been rehearsed

  • Record who is authorised to work on periodic facility risk assessment and when authorisation expires.
  • Assess long-term health exposure created by risk assessment and arrange surveillance.
  • Ask the people doing periodic facility risk assessment what makes the procedure hard to follow.
  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for risk assessment, do not just publish it.
02

Risk assessment: contractors and shared workplaces

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making near-miss reporting on risk assessment safe to do

  • Identify single points of dependency in periodic facility risk assessment and reduce them.
  • Test the procedure for risk assessment against a realistic scenario.
  • Test that protective equipment specified for periodic facility risk assessment fits and is maintained.
  • Confirm that reporting on risk assessment reaches the people who can act.

Session 2Building lasting competence in risk assessment

  • Check that lessons from periodic facility risk assessment reached other sites doing similar work.
  • Set leading indicators for risk assessment that predict rather than count.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates periodic facility risk assessment is under control.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether risk assessment is improving.
03

Risk assessment: occupational health and long-term exposure

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Auditing risk assessment in the field rather than in the file

  • Verify permits covering periodic facility risk assessment are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
  • Compare the cost of risk assessment with the cost of its absence.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when periodic facility risk assessment underperforms.
  • Confirm that controls on risk assessment sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.

Session 2The paperwork for periodic facility risk assessment that is actually needed

  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to periodic facility risk assessment.
  • Remove steps in risk assessment that add effort without adding assurance.
  • Set the review interval for periodic facility risk assessment and who attends.
  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for risk assessment are proven before work starts.
04

Risk assessment: reporting, investigation and root cause

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Moving risk assessment from approval to execution

  • Rehearse the briefing on periodic facility risk assessment that would follow an incident.
  • Make the reporting route for hazards in risk assessment short and non-punitive.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to periodic facility risk assessment will be introduced.
  • Define the trigger that would require risk assessment to be redesigned.

Session 2Why a good control on risk assessment stops being used

  • Establish the boundary of periodic facility risk assessment and record what sits outside it.
  • Review whether risk assessment is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting periodic facility risk assessment.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for risk assessment.
