Advanced Health and Safety Management

About the Course

Across safety-critical sectors, managing health and safety at a strategic level has become more than a compliance obligation — it is a leadership responsibility that protects lives, ensures continuity, and upholds corporate integrity. With increasing legal accountability, international compliance pressures, and the growing complexity of operational risks, organisations must go beyond basic safety protocols to establish integrated, measurable, and culture-driven systems. Effective safety leadership now requires a firm grasp of legal frameworks, proactive planning, behavioural insight, and performance-based decision-making. As expectations evolve across global sectors, professionals are being called to lead with both technical precision and a clear commitment to workforce wellbeing.

This 5-day Advanced Health and Safety Management training course is designed to equip health and safety professionals with the advanced tools, frameworks, and insights needed to manage safety at a strategic level. It provides a structured approach to addressing compliance, aligning safety systems with international standards, and embedding effective practices across organisational levels. Delegates will gain a deeper understanding of how to influence safety culture, enhance operational control, and improve overall safety performance through leadership, planning, and engagement. Whether responsible for corporate governance, risk oversight, or frontline implementation, it enables professionals to drive meaningful improvements in safety outcomes while meeting the expectations of regulators, executives, and the workforce.

Core Objectives

The delegates will achieve the following objectives:

• Interpret national and international safety legislation to ensure multi-jurisdictional compliance
• Assess the effectiveness of existing safety policies and cultural maturity within an organisation
• Design risk-based control measures tailored to operational needs and regulatory requirements
• Implement structured strategies for safety planning and workforce competency development
• Evaluate performance indicators and audit findings to support continuous improvement
• Apply behavioural safety principles to reduce unsafe practices and improve team engagement
• Formulate integrated safety solutions that align leadership, compliance, and workforce participation

Training Approach

This training course will be delivered through expert-led sessions combining structured presentations, interactive discussions, and guided analysis.
