Prepare the evidence a regulator would expect to see on excellence in safety standards.
Organisational Excellence in Applying Safety Standards
A structured, applied course in excellence in safety standards — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
The cost of an incident involving excellence in safety standards lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. Almost every serious incident involving safety standards was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this aspect of occupational health and safety and under-invest in testing it. It suits anyone whose decisions touch excellence in safety standards, in large organisations and small ones alike. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in the practice within occupational health and safety rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The most reliable predictor of sound safety standards is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme takes participants through excellence in safety standards end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. They acquire practical criteria for judging when safety standards is working and when it is only appearing to. The final module sets out how progress on the wider occupational health and safety agenda will be evidenced six months later.
