Integrate construction project safety into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Safety Management on Major Construction Projects
Build a working method for construction project safety that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Safety performance on construction project safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. A procedure for the occupational health and safety discipline that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this strand of occupational health and safety among the areas with the widest performance spread. Improvement in construction project safety stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a safety procedure for the practice within occupational health and safety as they go. The programme suits teams tackling this part of occupational health and safety together as readily as individuals attending alone. They leave able to brief senior management on construction project safety in terms that support a decision. The programme converts this strand of occupational health and safety from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this aspect of occupational health and safety that participants can repeat annually.

Course Modules
Construction project safety: occupational health and long-term exposure
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Checking that protective equipment for construction project safety actually protects
- Define acceptance criteria for construction project safety in advance.
- Test the procedure for construction project safety against a realistic scenario.
- Ask the people doing construction project safety what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Rank the weaknesses in construction project safety by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
Session 2Why a good control on construction project safety stops being used
- Identify the hazards in construction project safety and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
- Record who is authorised to work on construction project safety and when authorisation expires.
- Check that lessons from construction project safety reached other sites doing similar work.
- Verify six months later that changes to construction project safety have held.
Construction project safety: contractors and shared workplaces
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Who answers for construction project safety, and to whom
- Remove steps in construction project safety that add effort without adding assurance.
- Set leading indicators for construction project safety that predict rather than count.
- Agree what will be standardised in construction project safety and what will not.
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for construction project safety, do not just publish it.
Session 2Reading the current state of construction project safety honestly
- Make the reporting route for hazards in construction project safety short and non-punitive.
- Agree the smallest change to construction project safety that would be visibly useful.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting construction project safety.

Construction project safety: reporting, investigation and root cause
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Reviewing construction project safety when nothing has gone wrong
- Verify contractor competence and method statements for construction project safety.
- Verify permits covering construction project safety are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Identify where judgement in construction project safety is legitimate and where it is not.

- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about construction project safety.
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of construction project safety current.

Construction project safety: competence, authorisation and supervision
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The permit regime construction project safety needs, and the one it does not

- Test that protective equipment specified for construction project safety fits and is maintained.

Session 2Making near-miss reporting on construction project safety safe to do
- Confirm that controls on construction project safety sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Prepare the summary of construction project safety that senior management will read.
- Check that records of construction project safety answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for construction project safety are proven before work starts.
