Rising temperatures, floods and disrupted work patterns are changing the hazards employees face, while stress, harassment, long hours and job insecurity are driving absence and turnover. Both sets of risks are often handled informally, if at all. Across five days, safety and people professionals learn to treat them with the same rigour as any other hazard. Topics include heat stress assessment and the wet bulb globe temperature, work-rest schedules, hydration and acclimatisation, flood and storm emergency planning, outdoor and remote working, and the psychosocial hazards that sit alongside them. ISO 45003 guidance, stress risk assessment, burnout indicators, bullying and harassment prevention, return-to-work support and employee assistance arrangements are covered in detail.
Occupational health and safety officers, HR managers, wellbeing and employee relations practitioners, facilities and site managers, union representatives and supervisors in construction, agriculture, manufacturing, health care and offices will find it relevant. Delivery is by classroom, online or in-house, ending with a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion. You finish able to run a combined risk assessment, select proportionate controls and report progress to senior management.
Workplaces in East Africa and elsewhere are adapting to hotter days, heavier rains and unpredictable disruption, and these shifts reach employees directly through heat illness, injury, displacement and anxiety. At the same time, mental ill-health, burnout and poor working relationships are now recognised as significant causes of lost time. Organisations that manage these risks well protect people, keep operations running and demonstrate duty of care.
This training course joins two fields that are usually separate. The first part covers climate-related hazards: heat exposure, air quality, severe weather, vector-borne disease and the effects of climate events on work organisation. Participants learn to measure and rate exposure, set controls such as shading, scheduling and rest breaks, and write emergency procedures. The second part addresses psychosocial hazards, using the management standards approach and ISO 45003 to identify causes in workload, control, support and organisational change, then to plan interventions and support services. The closing sessions integrate both into one management system with indicators, consultation and review.
Participants work through workplace examples, complete risk assessments with provided tools and build a plan for their own organisation. Discussion is practical, with ample time for exchanging experience between sectors.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
