Safety Management for Supervisors Level 3

Programme Summary

Equip supervisors to turn safety expectations into consistent work planning, briefing and follow up. Participants assess operational risks, verify critical controls and coordinate people, contractors and changing conditions. Practical cases develop clear instructions, constructive safety conversations and incident responses, helping supervisors identify gaps early and escalate decisions that require technical specialists or higher management authority.

Training Objectives

1 Integrate safety into routine supervisory decisions; 2 Plan work around hazards and effective controls; 3 Strengthen briefing consultation and contractor coordination; 4 Respond constructively to incidents and unsafe conditions; 5 Monitor actions and escalate significant control failures.

Learning Outcomes

1 Prepare a risk informed work briefing; 2 Check critical controls before task release; 3 Coordinate contractor and team safety interfaces; 4 Conduct a constructive safety conversation; 5 Develop a measurable supervisory safety action plan.
