Course Overview

Regulators judge business continuity planning for crises on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Where planning for crises depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. It is written for people who have to make the occupational health and safety capability work with the resources they already have. The professional literature on business continuity planning for crises converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this part of occupational health and safety and supervised application. The version of planning for crises described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about business continuity planning for crises under scrutiny. The course sets out a working method for planning for crises that participants can apply the week they return. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of occupational health and safety ready to put in front of a decision maker.
