Course Overview

Regulators judge long-haul driver safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Almost every serious incident involving the practice within occupational health and safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Mature organisations treat this area of occupational health and safety as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in long-haul driver safety rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the occupational health and safety capability are used deliberately. Moving the practice within occupational health and safety from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about long-haul driver safety under scrutiny. It treats this area of occupational health and safety as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider occupational health and safety agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
