Rising temperatures, floods and disrupted supply lines are changing the conditions in which people work, while long hours, job insecurity and workplace conflict are wearing down mental health. Both categories of hazard are often overlooked until absences, accidents or resignations expose them. Five days show safety and people managers how to treat them with the same discipline applied to machinery and chemicals.
You learn to recognise climate-driven hazards such as heat stress, wet bulb exposure, air quality, flooding, vector-borne disease and extreme weather on construction sites, farms, factories and offices, and to apply measures from acclimatisation to work-rest cycles and emergency plans. The psychosocial side covers workload, role clarity, harassment, violence, remote working strain and trauma, using ISO 45003 guidance and the job demands-resources model. Risk assessment tools, worker consultation, incident reporting, return-to-work support and employee assistance arrangements are practised in exercises. The course suits health and safety officers, HR managers, occupational health nurses, facilities and site managers, union representatives and sustainability staff in industry, healthcare, NGOs and the public sector. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house with a CPD-accredited certificate. You depart with ready-to-use assessment forms and an action plan.
Employers have long managed visible hazards such as falls, machinery and chemicals, yet two of the fastest growing sources of harm are less visible. Climate change is intensifying heat, flooding and storms in the places where people work, and psychosocial hazards such as excessive demands, bullying, violence and poor support are linked to anxiety, absence and turnover. Safety systems that ignore them leave workers exposed and organisations with avoidable costs and legal risk.
The Practical Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course gives participants a hands-on method for tackling both. It begins with how occupational risk is changing and how the hierarchy of controls applies to climate and psychosocial hazards. Climate sessions examine heat illness, thermal comfort, outdoor and indoor exposure, air pollution, flood and storm response, and the vulnerability of different workers. Psychosocial sessions explore the sources of work-related stress, harassment and violence, the early signs in teams and the organisational factors behind them, including how managers can be supported to lead with care.
Learning is practical. Participants complete a heat risk assessment, run a psychosocial survey analysis, write a control plan and practise a supportive return-to-work conversation. By the end each participant has an integrated risk register and an implementation plan that fits their workplace and available resources.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
