Executive Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course in Kigali, Rwanda
Classroom training in Kigali · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,900
Rising heat, flooding and storms are hurting workers physically, while workload, job insecurity, bullying and trauma are eroding mental health. Both categories of hazard carry legal, financial and reputational consequences that now sit with executives and boards. This five-day programme gives senior leaders a structured way to oversee them.
Participants examine how climate exposure creates occupational risk through heat stress, outdoor work limits, vector-borne disease, displacement and supply disruption, and how psychosocial hazards arise from work design, management practice and organisational culture. Sessions apply ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 principles, risk registers, leading and lagging indicators, and the duties of directors for due diligence. You also cover return-to-work, employee assistance, crisis response and reporting to investors. Case clinics draw on construction, mining, agriculture, health care, banking and public service settings. The course is intended for chief executives, directors, heads of HSE, human resources and operations, risk and sustainability executives, board and committee members, and senior public sector managers. Classroom, online and in-house formats are available, and participants receive a CPD-accredited certificate. You leave able to challenge management reports, set risk appetite and commission a credible action plan.

About this course
Executives are accountable for the health of the people who deliver their strategy, yet climate change and mental ill health are often handled as separate, secondary matters. Heatwaves reduce productivity and cause serious illness; flooding closes sites; prolonged stress drives absenteeism, errors and resignations. Regulators, insurers, lenders and employees increasingly expect leadership to treat these as core enterprise risks.
The programme connects the two risk streams. It opens with the strategic and legal case, then moves into climate-related workplace hazards such as thermal stress, extreme weather events, air quality and changing disease patterns. A second block turns to psychosocial hazards, including excessive workload, poor control over work, harassment, violence, remote and shift work and organisational change. Participants learn how to embed both into the management system, assign accountability, set risk appetite, allocate budgets and use data to see problems early. The closing sessions concentrate on crisis leadership, recovery support, assurance and external disclosure.
Delivery is discussion-led and written for time-pressed leaders. Scenario briefings, dashboards and a board paper exercise ensure that participants leave with decisions they can action rather than abstract principles.
Training Objectives
Upon completing the programme, participants will be able to:
- Explain executive and board duties for climate-related and psychosocial workplace risk.
- Identify the main heat, weather and environmental hazards affecting their workforce.
- Recognise psychosocial hazards arising from work design, leadership and culture.
- Apply ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 principles within an enterprise risk framework.
- Set risk appetite, targets and accountabilities for worker health and wellbeing.
