The program is designed for CEOs, directors, officers and senior managers with significant influence over organisational resources, systems and decisions.

The course explains the officer or senior-leadership duty applying in the relevant jurisdiction and how it connects to the organisation’s primary safety obligations.

Due diligence requires leaders to take active steps: keeping knowledge current, understanding operations and hazards, resourcing systems and verifying performance.

Leaders need current knowledge of the legal framework and the health and safety matters relevant to the organisation and its operations.

The course shows why officers need reliable information about operations, hazards, risks, incidents and the effectiveness of workplace controls.

Participants consider resources and processes for risk management, consultation, incident reporting, training, compliance and timely response to safety information.

The program covers how leaders can obtain assurance, ask effective questions, review reporting and verify that systems are implemented in practice.

Participants examine the principles used when deciding what is reasonably practicable and how those principles influence risk-control decisions.

The course explains that failures to meet workplace safety duties can lead to serious regulatory and legal consequences for organisations and individuals.

Examples and case studies help leaders translate the legal duty into governance actions, accountabilities, reporting and follow-up.
