5. Risk Management (6 hours). Learn to conduct risk assessments in the workplace, using your system if you have one.
6. Safety communication and safety leadership (6 hours). This course discusses the role of the supervisor/manager in creating a positive safety culture through supporting people in their safe behaviours and leading by example. It includes a work based activity that puts the theory into practice. It teaches safety leadership skills that are rooted in active listening and active caring. The good leader aims to bring out the best in people, rather than enforce compulsory minimum compliance
7. Behaviour based safety observations: Designed for managers, supervisors and employees to be able to integrate safety observation and coaching skills into their repertoire of safety management systems. Safety observations give the observer a chance to observe the behaviours of workers and discuss with them any barriers they perceive to safe working. It understands behaviours as indicators of the system. It teaches that most workers want to work safely, yet they sometimes perform unsafe acts, mainly because of systemic reasons such as pressure for production, traditional cultural attitudes, lack of knowledge or resources, lack of perceived real commitment from management for health and safety, or other factors.
