Course Overview
Where construction work permits depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. A procedure for the practice within occupational health and safety that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. It concentrates on the parts of the wider occupational health and safety agenda that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Ambition around construction work permits outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this strand of occupational health and safety before they become incidents. The professional literature on the occupational health and safety discipline converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make construction work permits hard in practice. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of occupational health and safety work with the resources they already have. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within occupational health and safety will be evidenced six months later.
