Rising temperatures, floods and air pollution now sit beside workload, harassment and job insecurity as everyday threats to worker health. Many safety systems were built for machinery and chemicals, and struggle to recognise hazards that develop gradually or that people hesitate to report. Five days set out the practices that close that gap.
You learn to identify climate-related hazards such as heat stress, severe storms, wildfire smoke, vector-borne disease and disrupted commuting, and psychosocial hazards including excessive demands, low control, violence, bullying, isolation and poor change management. Sessions cover risk assessment methods, hierarchy of controls, heat action plans, worker consultation, return-to-work support, employee assistance, incident learning and links to ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 principles. The programme suits HSE managers, occupational health nurses, HR professionals, line supervisors, union and worker representatives and sustainability officers in construction, agriculture, manufacturing, health care and the public sector. Formats include classroom, online and in-house, ending in a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can complete a combined risk assessment and present a prioritised control plan to management.
Workplace safety no longer concerns only what workers touch or breathe on site. Hotter working days, more frequent flooding and unreliable infrastructure change the physical conditions of work, while long hours, constant connectivity, restructuring and workplace conflict affect mental health and productivity. Employers who treat these as separate matters, or ignore them, face absence, accidents, claims and loss of skilled people.
The Best Practices in Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course brings both groups of hazards into one practical risk management approach. It opens with the legal and business case, then teaches how to identify exposure by job and location, rate its severity and select controls that reach the cause rather than the symptom. Later sessions cover emergency and adaptation planning, supportive management behaviours, reporting systems that people trust, and measures that show whether risk is truly falling.
The format favours discussion and workplace application. Participants examine sample workplaces, practise consultation and investigation techniques and prepare a risk register and action plan that fits their own organisation, with attention to sectors where outdoor, shift or client-facing work raises exposure.
On completion, participants will be able to:
