Course Overview

Where hazardous waste management depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. The cost of an incident involving the occupational health and safety capability lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. The course covers the practice within occupational health and safety at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of hazardous waste management to standardise and which to leave flexible. Buying a tool rarely fixes the occupational health and safety capability; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The programme suits teams tackling this area of occupational health and safety together as readily as individuals attending alone. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from hazardous waste management, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this part of occupational health and safety that were visible long before the incident. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this aspect of occupational health and safety that would make a visible difference.
