Course Overview
Regulators judge operating theatre safety protocols on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Where safety protocols depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Participants apply the practice within occupational health and safety to their own work site throughout, so the output is directly usable. It treats operating theatre safety protocols as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this strand of occupational health and safety among the areas with the widest performance spread. Most organisations already have a policy on safety protocols; far fewer can show it working. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in operating theatre safety protocols before they become incidents. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for safety protocols. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this part of occupational health and safety that participants can repeat annually.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Build competence and authorisation requirements for anyone working on safety protocols.
Build a register of the risks attaching to operating theatre safety protocols and keep it current.
Build the internal capability for safety protocols rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
Audit the application of controls on operating theatre safety protocols in the field, not on paper.
Design emergency response and rescue arrangements covering safety protocols.
Estimate what operating theatre safety protocols costs to run properly, and what is lost when it is not.
Who Should Attend
Internal auditors reviewing how operating theatre safety protocols is designed and operated.
Health and safety officers and advisers responsible for safety protocols.
Senior managers who sign the safety policy covering operating theatre safety protocols.
Internal auditors verifying controls over safety protocols.
Contractor and subcontractor supervisors performing operating theatre safety protocols.

Operating theatre safety protocols: procedures, permits and practical controls
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Writing a procedure for operating theatre safety protocols people can follow at 3 a.m.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting operating theatre safety protocols.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates safety protocols is under control.
- Record what was learned when operating theatre safety protocols did not go as planned.
- Check the procedure for safety protocols against how the work is actually done.
Session 2Comparing safety protocols with recognised practice
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about operating theatre safety protocols.
- Estimate the resource safety protocols requires to run as designed.
- Identify where judgement in operating theatre safety protocols is legitimate and where it is not.
- Set escalation thresholds for safety protocols that work out of hours.
Safety protocols: contractors and shared workplaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The permit regime safety protocols needs, and the one it does not
- Identify the hazards in operating theatre safety protocols and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
- Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on safety protocols.
- Record who is authorised to work on operating theatre safety protocols and when authorisation expires.
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to safety protocols will be introduced.
Session 2Getting other functions to support safety protocols
- Remove steps in operating theatre safety protocols that add effort without adding assurance.
- Identify single points of dependency in safety protocols and reduce them.
- Check that operating theatre safety protocols still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in safety protocols is current.
Safety protocols: competence, authorisation and supervision
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Assessing the hazards in safety protocols without turning it into paperwork
- Confirm that controls on operating theatre safety protocols sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for safety protocols.
- Close out corrective actions on operating theatre safety protocols with a named owner and date.
- Define acceptance criteria for safety protocols in advance.
Session 2Keeping operating theatre safety protocols alive after the initial push
- Verify permits covering operating theatre safety protocols are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Build the competence framework that supports safety protocols.
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for operating theatre safety protocols, do not just publish it.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for safety protocols are proven before work starts.
Safety protocols: culture, human factors and why controls fail
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who is competent to work on safety protocols, and how you know
- Test the procedure for operating theatre safety protocols against a realistic scenario.
- Test that protective equipment specified for safety protocols fits and is maintained.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by operating theatre safety protocols and arrange surveillance.
- Ask the people doing safety protocols what makes the procedure hard to follow.
Session 2Rescue arrangements for safety protocols that have been rehearsed
- Check that lessons from operating theatre safety protocols reached other sites doing similar work.
- Map the handovers in safety protocols between functions and secure them.
- Verify six months later that changes to operating theatre safety protocols have held.
- Build the internal briefing that explains safety protocols to those affected.
