Carry out a structured risk assessment of long-term occupational health records and rank findings by consequence.
Managing Long-Term Occupational Health Records for Workers
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to long-term occupational health records.
Course Overview
The cost of an incident involving long-term occupational health records lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. A procedure for health records that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this part of occupational health and safety. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of long-term occupational health records rather than to abstract argument. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the practice within occupational health and safety among the areas with the widest performance spread. Most organisations already have a policy on health records; far fewer can show it working. This programme builds long-term occupational health records from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in health records before they become incidents. Participants leave with a plan for the wider occupational health and safety agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
