Course Overview
Regulators judge mechanical work safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Almost every serious incident involving the wider occupational health and safety agenda was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. What blocks progress on the occupational health and safety capability is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The level assumes working familiarity with the work site but no prior formal training in mechanical work safety. Participants test their assumptions about this area of occupational health and safety against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Organisations that document the occupational health and safety capability properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to mechanical work safety in an order their organisation can absorb. The course sets out a working method for this area of occupational health and safety that participants can apply the week they return. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the occupational health and safety discipline broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on mechanical work safety for senior management.
Verify that contractors performing mechanical work safety meet the same standard as direct employees.
Align mechanical work safety with the wider objectives of the work site rather than optimising it in isolation.
Design emergency response and rescue arrangements covering mechanical work safety.
Audit the application of controls on mechanical work safety in the field, not on paper.
Design a practical operating method for mechanical work safety that fits the organisation's size and maturity.
Who Should Attend

Engineering and maintenance staff whose work involves mechanical work safety.
Training officers building competence in mechanical work safety.
Consultants and advisers supporting clients on mechanical work safety.
Site and operations supervisors applying mechanical work safety daily.

Course Modules
Mechanical work safety: emergency response and rescue
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The hard cases in mechanical work safety and how to reason about them
- Confirm that controls on mechanical work safety sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on mechanical work safety.
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for mechanical work safety, do not just publish it.
- Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on mechanical work safety.
Session 2Rescue arrangements for mechanical work safety that have been rehearsed
- Set escalation thresholds for mechanical work safety that work out of hours.
- Test that protective equipment specified for mechanical work safety fits and is maintained.
- Build the internal briefing that explains mechanical work safety to those affected.
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to mechanical work safety.
Mechanical work safety: culture, human factors and why controls fail
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Holding contractors on mechanical work safety to your own standard
- Audit application of mechanical work safety controls at the workface.
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for mechanical work safety.
- Investigate the last incident involving mechanical work safety to root cause, not to immediate cause.
- Check that records of mechanical work safety answer the questions likely to be asked.
Session 2Who answers for mechanical work safety, and to whom
- Review whether mechanical work safety is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by mechanical work safety and arrange surveillance.
- Rehearse the briefing on mechanical work safety that would follow an incident.
- Set the review interval for mechanical work safety and who attends.
Mechanical work safety: protective equipment and its verification
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Building the method for mechanical work safety step by step
- Make the reporting route for hazards in mechanical work safety short and non-punitive.
- Identify where judgement in mechanical work safety is legitimate and where it is not.
- Identify single points of dependency in mechanical work safety and reduce them.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for mechanical work safety are proven before work starts.
Session 2Investigating an incident involving mechanical work safety without hunting for blame
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for mechanical work safety.
- Close out actions on mechanical work safety rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Remove steps in mechanical work safety that add effort without adding assurance.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in mechanical work safety is current.
Mechanical work safety: leading indicators, audit and assurance
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The exposure from mechanical work safety that shows up years later
- Record who is authorised to work on mechanical work safety and when authorisation expires.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting mechanical work safety.
- Define the trigger that would require mechanical work safety to be redesigned.
- Check the procedure for mechanical work safety against how the work is actually done.
Session 2Why a good control on mechanical work safety stops being used
- Set leading indicators for mechanical work safety that predict rather than count.
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of mechanical work safety current.
- Ask the people doing mechanical work safety what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around mechanical work safety are understood.
