Course Overview

Regulators judge emergency simulation exercises on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Almost every serious incident involving this strand of occupational health and safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. It is written for people who have to make the occupational health and safety capability work with the resources they already have. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of emergency simulation exercises to standardise and which to leave flexible. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this part of occupational health and safety and the judgement to adapt it. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this strand of occupational health and safety is examined, not just described. The difficulty is not agreeing that emergency simulation exercises matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this part of occupational health and safety that were visible long before the incident. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the occupational health and safety discipline sustainable.

Emergency simulation exercises: contractors and shared workplaces

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Keeping emergency simulation exercises alive after the initial push

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of emergency simulation exercises before proposing changes.
  • Check that emergency simulation exercises still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for emergency simulation exercises are proven before work starts.
  • Check the procedure for emergency simulation exercises against how the work is actually done.

Session 2Comparing emergency simulation exercises with recognised practice

  • Test the procedure for emergency simulation exercises against a realistic scenario.
  • Review whether emergency simulation exercises is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
  • Make the reporting route for hazards in emergency simulation exercises short and non-punitive.
  • Check that lessons from emergency simulation exercises reached other sites doing similar work.
02

Emergency simulation exercises: emergency response and rescue

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Who is competent to work on emergency simulation exercises, and how you know

  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to emergency simulation exercises will be introduced.
  • Assess long-term health exposure created by emergency simulation exercises and arrange surveillance.
  • Agree the smallest change to emergency simulation exercises that would be visibly useful.
  • Set leading indicators for emergency simulation exercises that predict rather than count.

Session 2Getting other functions to support emergency simulation exercises

  • Define the trigger that would require emergency simulation exercises to be redesigned.
  • Identify the data already collected that bears on emergency simulation exercises.
  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for emergency simulation exercises, do not just publish it.
  • Investigate the last incident involving emergency simulation exercises to root cause, not to immediate cause.
03

Emergency simulation exercises: hazard identification and risk assessment

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Investigating an incident involving emergency simulation exercises without hunting for blame

  • Build the competence framework that supports emergency simulation exercises.
  • Set escalation thresholds for emergency simulation exercises that work out of hours.
  • Draft the minimum viable safety procedure for emergency simulation exercises.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when emergency simulation exercises underperforms.

Session 2Writing a procedure for emergency simulation exercises people can follow at 3 a.m.

  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for emergency simulation exercises.
  • Audit application of emergency simulation exercises controls at the workface.
  • Test that protective equipment specified for emergency simulation exercises fits and is maintained.
  • Verify permits covering emergency simulation exercises are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
04

Emergency simulation exercises: competence, authorisation and supervision

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Holding contractors on emergency simulation exercises to your own standard

  • Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in emergency simulation exercises is current.
  • Identify the hazards in emergency simulation exercises and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
  • Anticipate the objections emergency simulation exercises will raise and prepare the answers.
  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting emergency simulation exercises.

Session 2Assessing the hazards in emergency simulation exercises without turning it into paperwork

  • Check that records of emergency simulation exercises answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for emergency simulation exercises.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of emergency simulation exercises current.
  • Close out corrective actions on emergency simulation exercises with a named owner and date.
