Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving worker health surveillance was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. The cost of an incident involving this part of occupational health and safety lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. They leave able to brief senior management on the wider occupational health and safety agenda in terms that support a decision. Plans for worker health surveillance often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants who influence the occupational health and safety capability without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Mature organisations treat the wider occupational health and safety agenda as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make worker health surveillance hard in practice. This programme builds this strand of occupational health and safety from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The final session converts the week's work on this part of occupational health and safety into commitments with owners and dates.

Worker health surveillance: culture, human factors and why controls fail
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Assessing the hazards in worker health surveillance without turning it into paperwork
- Set out the decisions in worker health surveillance that require sign-off and by whom.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for worker health surveillance.
- Test that protective equipment specified for worker health surveillance fits and is maintained.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in worker health surveillance short and non-punitive.
Session 2Auditing worker health surveillance in the field rather than in the file
- Check the procedure for worker health surveillance against how the work is actually done.
- Reduce the variation in how worker health surveillance is carried out between teams.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in worker health surveillance.

Worker health surveillance: contractors and shared workplaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The exposure from worker health surveillance that shows up years later
- Identify the hazards in worker health surveillance and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates worker health surveillance is under control.
- Close out corrective actions on worker health surveillance with a named owner and date.
- Estimate the resource worker health surveillance requires to run as designed.
Session 2What has to be agreed before work on worker health surveillance starts
- Confirm that controls on worker health surveillance sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Agree the smallest change to worker health surveillance that would be visibly useful.
- Agree the indicators that will show whether worker health surveillance is improving.
- Close out actions on worker health surveillance rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
Worker health surveillance: hazard identification and risk assessment
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Why a good control on worker health surveillance stops being used
- Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on worker health surveillance.
- Anticipate the objections worker health surveillance will raise and prepare the answers.
- Set leading indicators for worker health surveillance that predict rather than count.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for worker health surveillance are proven before work starts.
Session 2The permit regime worker health surveillance needs, and the one it does not
- Ask the people doing worker health surveillance what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for worker health surveillance.
- Record who is authorised to work on worker health surveillance and when authorisation expires.

Worker health surveillance: reporting, investigation and root cause
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The hard cases in worker health surveillance and how to reason about them
- Verify permits covering worker health surveillance are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Compare the cost of worker health surveillance with the cost of its absence.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in worker health surveillance is current.
- Benchmark the organisation's worker health surveillance against comparable operations.
Session 2Who answers for worker health surveillance, and to whom

- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about worker health surveillance.
- Test the procedure for worker health surveillance against a realistic scenario.
- Check that lessons from worker health surveillance reached other sites doing similar work.
