Course Content

Module 1: Introducing Managing Safely
Managing safely protects people, complies with the law, and saves money. Managers must lead, communicate, and act on health and safety. Every decision made by a manager can influence safety outcomes.

  • Introducing Managing Safely
  • Multiple Choice Question

Module 2 : Assessing Risks
Risk assessments are essential for ensuring workplace safety and meeting legal requirements. The process follows five clear steps: Identify, Decide, Evaluate, Record, Review. Effective risk assessment depends on clear thinking, accurate information, and practical controls. Always use the Hierarchy of Control and keep records updated. Good assessments protect people, reduce costs, and improve morale.

Module 3 : Controlling Risks
This module builds upon the previous topic of risk assessment by focusing on how to effectively control and reduce risks in the workplace. It provides practical guidance on choosing the right control measures and introduces the concept of the hierarchy of control. Key Objectives: Understand the principles of risk control. Learn how to select appropriate control measures. Apply the hierarchy of control to manage risks effectively. Recognize the importance of considering cost, effectiveness, and feasibility. Topics Covered: The need for controlling risks rather than eliminating all risks. Overview of the hierarchy of control: Elimination – removing the hazard completely. Substitution – replacing the hazard with something less dangerous. Engineering Controls – isolating people from the hazard. Administrative Controls – changing the way people work. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – protecting the worker. Factors that influence the selection of controls: effectiveness, practicality, and cost. Examples of risk controls applied in real workplaces. Outcome: By the end of this module, learners will be able to identify suitable risk control methods, prioritize them using the hierarchy of control, and apply them appropriately to reduce risks to acceptable levels.

Module 4 : Understanding Responsibilities
This module helps learners understand who is responsible for managing health and safety in the workplace, and what those responsibilities entail—from legal duties to moral obligations. It emphasizes that safety is everyone’s responsibility, not just the safety officer’s. Key Objectives: Identify the legal responsibilities of employers, employees, and managers. Understand the consequences of failing to meet health and safety obligations. Learn the importance of accountability and leadership in health and safety. Recognize the role of enforcement bodies and legal frameworks. Topics Covered: The differences between criminal and civil law in health and safety. Key legal duties of: Employers – provide safe systems, training, PPE, and supervision. Employees – follow safety procedures, use PPE, and report hazards. Managers/Supervisors – ensure compliance, support teams, and lead by example. The concept of "reasonably practicable" actions. Role of enforcement agencies (e.g., HSE or equivalent national bodies). Penalties and consequences of non-compliance (fines, imprisonment, reputation loss). Outcome: By the end of this module, learners will clearly understand their legal and moral responsibilities in promoting workplace health and safety and will be better equipped to take ownership of their role in maintaining a safe working environment.

Module 5 : Common Hazards
This module introduces learners to a wide range of typical workplace hazards that can cause harm if not properly identified and managed. It helps managers recognize these hazards in various environments and understand how they relate to risk assessments and control strategies. Key Objectives: Identify the most common types of workplace hazards. Understand how hazards can cause harm to people, property, and the environment. Learn how to spot potential hazards during routine workplace activities. Relate each type of hazard to appropriate control measures. Topics Covered: Overview of common workplace hazards, including: Mechanical and electrical hazards Chemical and biological agents Physical hazards (noise, vibration, radiation) Ergonomic hazards (manual handling, poor workstation design) Environmental factors (heat, cold, lighting) Psychosocial hazards (stress, violence, harassment) Workplace layout and traffic Real-life examples and consequences of failing to manage common hazards. Tips on observing, recording, and reporting hazards during daily operations. Outcome: By the end of this module, learners will be able to identify a wide range of hazards, understand how they can arise in the workplace, and take proactive steps to help reduce or eliminate them through proper control measures.

Module 6 : Investigating Incidents
This module focuses on how and why workplace incidents should be investigated thoroughly. It emphasizes learning from incidents to prevent future occurrences and improve overall safety performance. Key Objectives: Understand the importance of investigating all types of incidents, including near misses. Learn how to conduct a basic incident investigation. Identify immediate, underlying, and root causes of incidents. Recognize how findings can lead to effective corrective actions. Topics Covered: Definitions: Incident, Accident, Near miss. The benefits of reporting and investigating incidents (learning, compliance, prevention). The steps of a basic investigation: Secure the scene. Collect information (witness statements, evidence). Identify what happened and why. Determine root causes (not just the obvious ones). Recommend actions to prevent recurrence. Difference between immediate, underlying, and root causes. How incident investigation supports a positive safety culture. Outcome: By the end of this module, learners will be able to carry out a basic incident investigation, determine causes, and contribute to creating safer systems and environments through effective corrective actions.

Module 7: Measuring Performance
This final core module focuses on how organizations can measure, monitor, and improve their health and safety performance. It highlights the importance of tracking progress, identifying weaknesses, and ensuring continuous improvement in workplace safety. Key Objectives: Understand why measuring health and safety performance is essential. Learn the difference between active and reactive monitoring. Identify tools used to measure safety performance, such as audits and inspections. Recognize the value of setting key performance indicators (KPIs) for safety. Topics Covered: The benefits of performance measurement: accountability, improvement, and compliance. Active monitoring: proactive checks (e.g., inspections, observations, audits). Reactive monitoring: learning from incidents, near misses, and reports. Using KPIs to measure performance (e.g., number of inspections, incident rates). The role of safety audits and management reviews in maintaining standards. Setting targets and using data to drive safety improvements. Outcome: By the end of this module, learners will understand how to monitor and improve health and safety performance, recognize problem areas, and contribute to ongoing safety success in their organization.
