Operational Excellence in Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course in Lagos, Nigeria
Classroom training in Lagos · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 2,800
Extreme heat, flooding, smoke and storms now disrupt work as often as machinery faults once did, while stress, bullying, long hours and job insecurity wear down staff and productivity. Handling each risk through separate, one-off fixes wastes effort. This five-day programme shows health and safety professionals how to run climate-related and psychosocial risk management as a single, efficient process that is measured, audited and steadily improved.
You work on hazard identification, heat stress indices and work-rest schedules, extreme weather emergency plans, psychosocial risk surveys, workload and role design, harassment and violence prevention, return-to-work support and mental health first response. Operational excellence tools include process mapping, Lean waste reviews, key risk indicators, root cause analysis, audit protocols and management review. Content links to ISO 45001 and ISO 45003 practice. The programme suits HSE managers, occupational health nurses, human resource managers, facilities and site managers, risk officers, union representatives and sustainability leads in construction, agriculture, manufacturing, health care, logistics and offices. Training is classroom, online or in-house. You leave with a risk register, control plan and indicator set, plus a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy.

About this course
Workplaces are being reshaped by two pressures that rarely appear in the same procedure manual. Rising temperatures, floods and air quality events expose outdoor and indoor workers to physical harm, while pace of work, unclear roles, conflict and fear of job loss damage mental health. Employers who handle them informally face absenteeism, accidents, grievances and growing expectations from regulators, insurers and employees.
Operational Excellence in Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course takes a process-improvement view of both. Participants begin by defining the risk landscape of their own operations, then learn to assess exposure with heat stress measures, vulnerability reviews and validated psychosocial surveys. They apply the hierarchy of controls to design measures that are practical for their sites, build response plans for climate events and set up confidential support routes for staff in distress. A strong emphasis falls on making the whole system lean: clear ownership, simple documentation, timely data and review cycles that actually change practice.
Teaching uses workplace case files and data exercises. Participants complete a combined risk register, a set of key risk indicators and an improvement plan for their organisation, and they practise presenting the business case to senior management.
Training Objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Identify climate-related hazards such as heat, flooding, smoke and storms in specific workplaces.
- Assess heat stress exposure and set work-rest, hydration and acclimatisation arrangements.
- Recognise psychosocial hazards including workload, harassment, violence and lack of control.
- Apply surveys and consultation methods to measure psychosocial risk fairly and confidentially.
- Use the hierarchy of controls to select practical preventive and protective measures.
- Develop emergency and business continuity arrangements for extreme weather.
- Map and streamline risk management processes using Lean and root cause tools.
- Set indicators, audit routines and management reviews that sustain improvement.
