About the programme

Course Overview

A procedure for safe preventive maintenance that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Regulators judge the wider occupational health and safety agenda on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this area of occupational health and safety before they become incidents. Practitioner evidence points the same way: safe preventive maintenance improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the occupational health and safety discipline in their own setting. A common pattern is strong design of the wider occupational health and safety agenda paired with weak follow-through. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for safe preventive maintenance. The programme converts the occupational health and safety capability from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the occupational health and safety discipline survives a hostile question.
