Hotter working days, flooding, disrupted commutes and the pressure of constant change are now workplace safety issues, not only environmental or wellbeing ones. Boards and regulators increasingly ask who owns these risks, what controls exist and what evidence proves they work. Over five days, senior HSE, HR and compliance professionals learn to give both climate-related and psychosocial hazards a proper place in the management system.
You examine heat stress, extreme weather, air quality and displacement risks alongside work demands, harassment, violence, job insecurity, burnout and poor organisational justice. Sessions cover accountability at board and executive level, risk registers, policy design, consultation with workers, incident and absence data, and ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 guidance on psychological health and safety. You also look at audit, assurance and disclosure, and at how to document due diligence if an inspector or claimant asks questions. Case studies come from agriculture, construction, health care, manufacturing and the public service. Safety managers, HR directors, compliance and risk officers, occupational health practitioners, internal auditors and senior line managers will find it relevant. The programme runs in classrooms, online or in-house and carries a CPD-accredited certificate.
Employers have long understood physical hazards such as machinery and chemicals. Two newer categories now demand equal attention. Climate-related hazards, including heat, flooding, storms and smoke, change when and where people can safely work. Psychosocial hazards, including excessive workload, bullying, harassment and violence, damage health just as surely and are strongly tied to absence, turnover and claims.
The Governance and Compliance in Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course concentrates on how leaders govern and evidence the management of these risks. Participants start with the duty of care and the regulatory and standards landscape, then learn to identify exposure, assess likelihood and severity, and choose proportionate controls. They explore the role of the board, executive and line manager, how to consult workers and representatives, how to build metrics and how to respond when controls fail.
The course is intended for experienced practitioners. Teaching uses cases, risk-assessment clinics and structured debate rather than lecture alone, and participants work towards a draft governance framework, policy set and assurance plan that can be taken back to their executive team.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
