Explores industrial safety management systems in technological industries, particularly those where safety failures have the capacity to cause injury or damage in the community, such as transportation and major hazards industries.

The industrial safety management systems specified in various legislation are reviewed, including the requirements for safety reports. Course participants then explore good practice in the components of industrial safety management systems.

Topics include governance and internal control, business continuity, safety culture, safety performance measurement, information management, process control, contractor management, asset management, maintenance management, reliability change management, and training and competency.

At the end of the course participants should be able to recognise good and bad practice in each of these areas and propose changes to improve safety.
