Health, Safety and Environment

The purpose of this course is to provide managers and safety professionals with a deeper understanding of their role in implementing and determing the outcomes of a safety program. 'How to be a Leader in Safety and Health' focuses on the importance of top management involvement in guiding the process of implementing new approaches to health and safety. The course addresses the change management process which can be a challenge for some organizations seeking a significant improvement in their health and safety performance. When routine and traditional risk reduction approaches do not produce the desired results, a new strategy should be put in place. With many real life examples and interactive exercises, a step-by-step process is introduced to enable participants to influence health and safety policies and procedures in their organizations. Moreover, participants will be ready to take a leadership role in promoting good health and safety practices and implementing related changes.

The sheer range of potential incidents and emergencies that can disrupt or even stop production are increasing. If managed correctly then not all of these incidents will become critical or be classed as a crisis, but those that result in increased losses or put increased demand upon the organisation will have serious consequences for the company, the shareholders and stakeholders or the country itself badly damaging the reputation of all those involved in the response. This course will teach you that meeting this commitment involves more than just being fully prepared.

It is critical for every individual involved with hazardous waste, whether with its disposal or more commonly with its transportation, to acquire the relevant safe handling knowledge and skills. The first step in effective hazardous is to understand the difference between what is hazardous and what is not. Many types of hazardous material require special handling, and the correct handling methods must be used for the material being disposed.

Indeed, hazardous waste, if not contained correctly can lead to fires, explosions, or the release of toxic fumes due to interaction with the container. It is crucial to ensure the hazardous material is ready for transport in order to reduce risks, last minute efforts and added expenses.

This course provides every professional involved with the knowledge and skills to ensure the safe handling of hazardous waste as well as drafts of contingency / emergency plans.

HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) study is one of the most widely used hazard identification methods in the world and is utilized across many different industries. Countless potential risks and problems can be identified by using the systematic and structured approach of HAZOP.

A successful HAZOP study is only possible if the study is led effectively. Without good leadership, studies ‘drift’ and become, at best, design reviews; or, at worst, contractual arguments. This course will provide participants with an understanding of the HAZOP methodology and why it works, as well as key skills to take on the role of a HAZOP Team Leader.

Participants will learn how to function as a HAZOP study Leader including: preparing and selecting a team, choosing nodes, estimating timescales for completion, avoiding common problems, and formulating reports.

Who is responsible for health and safety in your organization? Who should be held accountable to meet legal obligations in safety requirements? Through this course, it will be apparent that workplace safety is the responsibility of everyone in the organization. Moreover, a thorough review of common hazards, as well as root causes of accidents and incidents, will allow participants to be armed with various tools to help them create, follow, and more importantly, implement the standards of health and safety.

By being aware of hazards surrounding them, participants will be able to identify and anticipate such hazards. Moreover, the instructions on investigation techniques and processes delivered in this course will enable participants to better plan for upcoming tasks.

This course provides an understanding of the structure, contents and applicability of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

It covers the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in the workplace for general industries. It also provides information regarding employers’ responsibilities as defined by OSHA, and focuses on the implementation of effective safety programs and record keeping requirements.

In the 21st century, sustainable waste management is as much about resource management and recovery, as it is about safe and effective disposal. This course helps participants who either produce waste or handle waste to use information gained to develop a more sustainable and cost-effective way of managing waste in both a local and national context. It follows the principles of the waste management hierarchy to underpin good practice in waste management, in a way that recognizes waste as a resource. This will both help to protect the environment and maximize profit.
Participants will learn to use a range of tools to explore opportunities in waste prevention, re-use and recycling; and in so doing, reduce management costs and create commercial opportunities.

Opportunities for energy generation from biological waste, including food waste, will also be identified.

This course is specifically designed for managers with environmental and/or sustainability responsibilities. The course provides a clear path towards successfully achieving ISO 14001 Transition – with any accredited certification body. All new requirements from the 2015 revision of the standard will be considered and participants will be empowered to return to their organizations and effectively implement the methodologies shared on the course.

Participants will learn how the new ISO 14001:2015 standard supports the strategic direction of the organization and how new ISO Clause requirements enhance the relevance of this management system. Participants will consider risks and opportunities that may impact environmental performance and will develop a more focused planning approach, to achieve environmental objectives.

The ‘leadership’ clause will be considered in a way that enables managers to engage with top executives within the organization and secure their ‘buy-in’ with key environmental initiatives. Performance evaluation will also be reviewed in depth, enabling managers to evaluate the effectiveness of the environmental management system while simultaneously delivering improvements on a continuous basis. Arrangements for reviewing organizational environmental compliance (regulatory) will be investigated and participants will learn how to establish an effective compliance framework for the benefit of the organization.
