Course Overview
A procedure for operator qualification programmes that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Where this strand of occupational health and safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Moving this area of occupational health and safety from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Applied research in occupational health and safety consistently shows that early structure around operator qualification programmes reduces downstream rework. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of occupational health and safety under scrutiny. The programme converts this strand of occupational health and safety from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. It is written for people who have to make operator qualification programmes work with the resources they already have. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this area of occupational health and safety rather than to abstract argument. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within occupational health and safety that participants can repeat annually.
