HSE Inspector's Guide to Risk Management
Live Online
16 September 2024 - 17 September 2024
Introduction
The effective management of risk is central
to providing a safe and healthy workplace.
This workshop-style training course will show delegates how HSE
examines and uses employers' risk assessments. It will explain the
common errors that HSE finds in the risk assessment process and
show delegates how to use this information to manage risks more
effectively to avoid enforcement action.
The workshop will be delivered by a former HSE inspector with
more than 35 years of experience and is a rare opportunity to
understand how HSE regulates by seeing the world through an
inspector's eyes.
Learning outcomes
Delegates will be provided with information that will help them
to:
- Understand the law on risk assessment and the different types
of risk assessments required under health and safety
legislation
- Appreciate how HSE inspectors use risk assessments during
inspections and investigations, and how they form judgements about
whether risks are being adequately controlled
- Recognise the common errors found in risk assessments and in
implementing them, and understand how to use this knowledge to
better manage risks
- Understand the circumstances where an inadequate risk
assessment may cause an inspector to take enforcement action and
what form that action is likely to take
- Improve their risk assessment process, manage risks better and
avoid enforcement action
What the course will cover
This course provides an overview of the law on risk assessments
and explains the purpose of risk assessments. Delegates will
discuss common pitfalls and learn how to avoid them. They will
study the circumstances where an inadequate risk assessment may
cause an inspector to take enforcement action. Delegates will gain
an insight into how to improve their risk assessment process. The
course uses practical, interactive sessions, group discussions and
relevant case studies to enhance the learning experience.
Who should attend?
This course is aimed at delegates with a good understanding of
health and safety, experience of conducting risk assessments and
are seeking to improve their understanding and management of risk,
such as health and safety professionals, business owners and those
who act as the interface between their organisation and HSE.
The course assumes some prior knowledge and experience in risk
management. Anyone seeking an introduction to risk management and
assessment should consider the NEBOSH HSE Award in Managing Risk
and Risk Assessment at Work.
