Course Overview

A procedure for work environment monitoring that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Where this aspect of occupational health and safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. The course sets out a working method for the occupational health and safety discipline that participants can apply the week they return. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on work environment monitoring and revise it on evidence. Progress on the wider occupational health and safety agenda is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Comparative studies of this area of occupational health and safety across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Every module pairs a short input on work environment monitoring with structured practice on the participant's own material. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of occupational health and safety, not for observers of it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the wider occupational health and safety agenda survives a hostile question.

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The exposure from work environment monitoring that shows up years later

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of work environment monitoring before proposing changes.
  • Identify the hazards in work environment monitoring and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
