Most procurement disputes about warehouse safety and hazardous materials originate in a specification written too quickly. Warehouse performance on hazardous materials is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for this area of procurement and supply operations as they go. Moving warehouse safety and hazardous materials from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The content is relevant to those who own the procurement and supply operations discipline and to those who are held accountable for its results. Across sectors, teams that rehearse hazardous materials outperform teams that only plan it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting warehouse safety and hazardous materials, ready to be adapted internally. The programme is built to be used, and every section of hazardous materials it covers ends in something applicable. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of procurement and supply operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
