Course Overview
Where machinery and heavy equipment safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. The cost of an incident involving equipment safety lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. The course covers the practice within occupational health and safety at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting machinery and heavy equipment safety, ready to be adapted internally. Buying a tool rarely fixes this area of occupational health and safety; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for equipment safety as they go. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in machinery and heavy equipment safety that were visible long before the incident. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on equipment safety are used deliberately. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the occupational health and safety discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Integrate equipment safety into the management of change process.
Plan the training and refresher cycle sustaining competence in machinery and heavy equipment safety.
Build the internal capability for equipment safety rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
Assess the current state of machinery and heavy equipment safety against a structured set of criteria rather than impressions.
Assess occupational health exposure arising from equipment safety and arrange surveillance.
Build the safety case or justification supporting machinery and heavy equipment safety.
Who Should Attend
Managers with direct responsibility for machinery and heavy equipment safety within the work site.
Facility and plant managers accountable for equipment safety.
Occupational health practitioners monitoring exposure from machinery and heavy equipment safety.
Staff seconded into improvement work on equipment safety.
Site and operations supervisors applying machinery and heavy equipment safety daily.
Contractor and subcontractor supervisors performing equipment safety.
Course Modules
Machinery and heavy equipment safety: procedures, permits and practical controls
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Assessing the hazards in machinery and heavy equipment safety without turning it into paperwork
- Plan the sequence in which improvements to machinery and heavy equipment safety will be introduced.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for equipment safety are proven before work starts.
- Set leading indicators for machinery and heavy equipment safety that predict rather than count.
- Confirm that contractual obligations around equipment safety are understood.
Session 2Auditing equipment safety in the field rather than in the file
- Check that records of machinery and heavy equipment safety answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Verify permits covering equipment safety are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Set out how exceptions to machinery and heavy equipment safety are requested and approved.
- Check the procedure for equipment safety against how the work is actually done.
Equipment safety: leading indicators, audit and assurance
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Holding contractors on equipment safety to your own standard
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting machinery and heavy equipment safety.
- Check that lessons from equipment safety reached other sites doing similar work.
- Draft the minimum viable safety procedure for machinery and heavy equipment safety.
- Confirm that those complying with equipment safety understand why it exists.
Session 2Why a good control on equipment safety stops being used
- Anticipate the objections machinery and heavy equipment safety will raise and prepare the answers.
- Prepare the summary of equipment safety that senior management will read.
- Test that protective equipment specified for machinery and heavy equipment safety fits and is maintained.
- Ask the people doing equipment safety what makes the procedure hard to follow.
Equipment safety: competence, authorisation and supervision
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Making near-miss reporting on equipment safety safe to do
- Define the trigger that would require machinery and heavy equipment safety to be redesigned.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in equipment safety short and non-punitive.
- Record who is authorised to work on machinery and heavy equipment safety and when authorisation expires.
- Identify the hazards in equipment safety and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
Session 2Moving machinery and heavy equipment safety from approval to execution
- Assess long-term health exposure created by machinery and heavy equipment safety and arrange surveillance.
- Close out actions on equipment safety rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Compare the cost of machinery and heavy equipment safety with the cost of its absence.
- Investigate the last incident involving equipment safety to root cause, not to immediate cause.
Equipment safety: protective equipment and its verification
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Reading the current state of equipment safety honestly
- Audit application of machinery and heavy equipment safety controls at the workface.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on equipment safety.
- Arrange the handover of machinery and heavy equipment safety so capability survives staff changes.
- Rehearse the briefing on equipment safety that would follow an incident.
Session 2The cost of equipment safety and how to present it
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for machinery and heavy equipment safety, do not just publish it.
- Prepare the response for the most likely failure in equipment safety.
- Distinguish symptoms from causes when machinery and heavy equipment safety underperforms.
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in equipment safety is current.
