Course Overview
Regulators judge lifting and loading safety on evidence of application, not on the existence of a document. Where loading safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. The level assumes working familiarity with the work site but no prior formal training in this area of occupational health and safety. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in lifting and loading safety that were visible long before the incident. It treats the occupational health and safety discipline as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. What blocks progress on loading safety is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of lifting and loading safety and supervised application. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to loading safety in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants leave with a plan for this part of occupational health and safety sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.

Integrate lifting and loading safety into the management of change process.
Prepare the evidence a regulator would expect to see on loading safety.
Apply a repeatable review cycle to lifting and loading safety and act on what it produces.

Course Modules
Lifting and loading safety: occupational health and long-term exposure
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The hard cases in lifting and loading safety and how to reason about them
- Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in lifting and loading safety is current.
- Ask the people doing loading safety what makes the procedure hard to follow.
- Assess long-term health exposure created by lifting and loading safety and arrange surveillance.
- Confirm that those complying with loading safety understand why it exists.
Session 2Who answers for loading safety, and to whom
- Close out actions on lifting and loading safety rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Test that protective equipment specified for loading safety fits and is maintained.
- Establish the boundary of lifting and loading safety and record what sits outside it.
- Check that lessons from loading safety reached other sites doing similar work.
Loading safety: emergency response and rescue
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Why a good control on loading safety stops being used
- Reduce the variation in how lifting and loading safety is carried out between teams.
- Apply management of change to any modification affecting loading safety.
- Arrange the handover of lifting and loading safety so capability survives staff changes.
- Establish what evidence demonstrates loading safety is under control.
Session 2The exposure from loading safety that shows up years later
- Audit application of lifting and loading safety controls at the workface.

Loading safety: culture, human factors and why controls fail
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Making near-miss reporting on loading safety safe to do
- Close out corrective actions on lifting and loading safety with a named owner and date.
- Test the procedure for loading safety against a realistic scenario.
- Check that records of lifting and loading safety answer the questions likely to be asked.
- Investigate the last incident involving loading safety to root cause, not to immediate cause.
Session 2Assessing the hazards in lifting and loading safety without turning it into paperwork
- Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on lifting and loading safety.
- Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for loading safety, do not just publish it.
- Confirm that controls on lifting and loading safety sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
- Build the competence framework that supports loading safety.
Loading safety: reporting, investigation and root cause
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Building lasting competence in loading safety
- Record who is authorised to work on lifting and loading safety and when authorisation expires.
- Verify permits covering loading safety are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about lifting and loading safety.
- Identify where judgement in loading safety is legitimate and where it is not.
Session 2The permit regime loading safety needs, and the one it does not
- Agree the smallest change to lifting and loading safety that would be visibly useful.
- Anticipate the objections loading safety will raise and prepare the answers.
- Make the reporting route for hazards in lifting and loading safety short and non-punitive.
- Record what was learned when loading safety did not go as planned.
