Course Overview
A procedure for occupational disease prevention that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Almost every serious incident involving the practice within occupational health and safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. The programme converts the occupational health and safety discipline from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting occupational disease prevention, ready to be adapted internally. Progress on this part of occupational health and safety is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the wider occupational health and safety agenda is examined from more than one functional angle. Across sectors, teams that rehearse occupational disease prevention outperform teams that only plan it. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this strand of occupational health and safety rather than to abstract argument. Participants leave with a plan for the occupational health and safety capability sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
