Health, Safety and SecuritySafety Management Best Practice for Industrial Operations
High tempo industrial operations generate pressure to keep going, and a safety system that only works when nothing is urgent is not a safety system. This course covers one that holds under production pressure. Delegates work through hazard identification and risk assessment as a live activity rather than an annual document, the hierarchy of control applied honestly, and safe systems of work including procedures people can actually follow at pace. Leadership behaviour is covered directly, since a supervisor who accepts a shortcut once has changed the standard. Contractor and interface control follows. Incident and near miss reporting are addressed as the early warning they should be, including why reporting falls when people are punished for it. Measurement is covered, distinguishing lagging injury numbers from leading indicators. The course closes on auditing a system rather than a file.
