Rising temperatures, floods, smoke and storms are changing where and how people can safely work, while long hours, job insecurity, harassment and poor management are driving stress, absence and mental ill-health. Both groups of hazards are often missed by traditional safety systems built around machinery and chemicals. Five days give you a grounded, practical introduction to spotting and managing them.
On the climate side you study heat stress and the wet bulb globe temperature index, hydration and work-rest schedules, extreme weather emergency planning, air quality, vector-borne disease and outdoor and remote work. On the psychosocial side you look at the ISO 45003 guidance, job demands and control, workload, bullying, violence and harassment, burnout, return to work and employee assistance. You then learn the hierarchy of controls, risk assessment methods, consultation with workers, incident reporting and simple indicators to track progress. The course is suited to HSE officers, supervisors, HR and occupational health staff, safety committee members and managers in construction, agriculture, manufacturing, health, mining and public services. It runs in classroom, online and in-house formats and concludes with a CPD-accredited certificate.
Workplace risk is changing. Extreme heat now limits safe working hours on building sites, farms and in factories, and severe weather disrupts operations and threatens staff travelling to and from work. At the same time, employers are recognising that mental strain, intimidation and unmanageable workloads cause illness, accidents and resignations just as surely as physical hazards do.
The Fundamentals of Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course provides a clear starting point for people who have not previously handled these topics. Participants first revisit core ideas of hazard, risk and control, then apply them to climate-related exposures and to the psychosocial factors that shape wellbeing at work. They learn how to recognise warning signs in individuals and teams, how to gather evidence from workers, and how to decide proportionate actions.
Teaching is practical and discussion-led. Participants complete simple assessments for a hot outdoor job and an office or service setting, draft a policy statement, design a consultation exercise and plan how to measure whether controls are working. No specialist background is needed, only an interest in keeping people safe and well.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
