Course Overview

You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.

 

Defining a Safety Culture

This session will explore the idea of a safety culture. Participants will also be asked to identify how safety applies to their organization.

 

Governing Bodies and Resources

It is essential that organizations map their safety plan to regulations in their area. This session will look at some of the key organizations and how to contact them.

 

Getting Started

A good first safety step is establishing a safety committee. This session will give participants some ideas on getting started.

 

Identifying Hazards

Hazard identification typically forms the basis for a safety plan. We will look at some ways of identifying hazards and then we will apply those methods to a case study.

 

Resolving Hazards

Hazard resolution is the logical step to take after hazard identification. We will look at three ways of resolving hazards and then we will apply those methods to a case study.

 

Taking Proactive Measures

There are measures you can take when hiring and training employees to make your workplace safer. This session will explore these measures through lecture and discussion.

 

Identifying Groups at Risk

During this session, we will look at a number of factors that can increase a person’s risk of an accident. We will also look at how to mitigate these risks.

 

Writing a Safety Plan

Everything that we have discussed so far will come together to create a safety plan.

 

Implementing the Plan

Your safety culture will only be a success if it is accepted and adopted by your employees. We will discuss just how to do this in a lecture.

 

Incident Management

No matter how well your safety culture is implemented and accepted, there will still be incidents. This session will look at how to respond to, document, and investigate incidents. We will also discuss how to handle near misses.

 

Reviewing the Program

The final essential component of your safety plan is to include a review process. We will look at when and how the plan should be evaluated.
