Course Content

Unit 1: Health & Safety Management Principles and Policy Development
Health and safety management is based on leadership, compliance, risk control, and worker engagement. The PDCA model supports continuous improvement. Legal frameworks from the UK (HSE) and USA (OSHA) provide structured guidance for employers and workers. A clear, well-structured safety policy includes intent, organisation, and arrangements. Management plays a pivotal role in driving a positive safety culture. Integration, improvement, and ethics are crucial for effective safety policy and practice.

Unit 2: Risk Assessment and Control Measures
Risk assessment is a legal and moral duty under UK and US laws. Hazards must be systematically identified and controlled using best-practice frameworks. The 5-step HSE model and OSHA's JHA are widely used across industries. The hierarchy of control prioritises elimination and substitution over PPE. Regular review and worker engagement are key to maintaining effectiveness.

Unit 4: Workplace Hazards, Risk Control and Safe Systems of Work
Workplace hazards are diverse and must be proactively controlled. The hierarchy of control prioritises elimination and substitution over PPE. Safe Systems of Work and Permit-to-Work systems formalise risk control for high-risk tasks. Competency, training, and communication are essential to enforce controls. Documentation and periodic review help maintain compliance and protect workers.

Unit 5: Incident Investigation, Reporting, and Root Cause Analysis
Incident investigation is vital for legal compliance, risk reduction, and cultural improvement. UK (RIDDOR) and US (OSHA) have strict reporting timelines. Investigations should be thorough, fair, and focused on root causes. Tools like 5 Whys and Fishbone Diagrams support analysis. Effective corrective and preventive actions must follow every report. Sharing and applying lessons learned strengthens safety management systems.

Unit 6: Monitoring, Reviewing, and Auditing Health & Safety Performance

Emergency preparedness involves structured planning for unplanned, high-risk events. UK and US laws mandate emergency planning, evacuation procedures, and drills.

Plans should be rehearsed, communicated, and regularly reviewed for effectiveness.
