Course Overview

Almost every serious incident involving civil defence coordination was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. The cost of an incident involving the wider occupational health and safety agenda lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. Participants who influence the occupational health and safety discipline without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Most organisations already have a policy on civil defence coordination; far fewer can show it working. This programme builds the practice within occupational health and safety from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the occupational health and safety capability and supervised application. Mature organisations treat civil defence coordination as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants finish able to explain this aspect of occupational health and safety to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this part of occupational health and safety sustainable.
