Safety Leadership, Worker Wellbeing and Leading-Indicator Assurance Training Course in Kisumu, Kenya
Classroom training in Kisumu · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 1,500
Most serious incidents are preceded by warning signs that nobody was measuring: overdue maintenance, fatigued crews, permits signed without a site visit and near misses that went unreported. Organisations that rely on injury rates alone learn about these weaknesses only after someone is hurt. Over five days you learn to lead safety visibly, protect the physical and mental health of the workforce, and build indicators that reveal how well critical controls are performing. Sessions cover safety culture maturity, visible felt leadership and structured safety conversations, just culture and Human and Organisational Performance principles, and the leadership and worker participation requirements of ISO 45001.
Wellbeing sessions apply ISO 45003 to psychosocial hazards such as workload, fatigue, harassment and job insecurity, alongside fatigue risk management and support pathways. You then design leading and lagging indicators, verify critical controls in the field and report assurance results to senior leaders and boards. It suits HSE managers, operations and site managers, supervisors, occupational health practitioners and HR wellbeing leads in construction, mining, energy, manufacturing, logistics and the public sector. You leave able to run a leadership safety walk, set a balanced KPI suite and challenge dashboards that hide risk. Classroom, online and in-house delivery, CPD-accredited.

About this course
Lost-time injury rates tell an organisation how badly things went last quarter, not whether today's controls will hold. Boards, regulators and clients now ask for evidence that leaders are actively managing risk, that workers are fit, rested and psychologically safe, and that the barriers preventing fatalities and major incidents are in place and working. Meeting those expectations requires a different kind of leadership and a different set of measures.
The Safety Leadership, Worker Wellbeing and Leading-Indicator Assurance Training Course begins with the leader's role in shaping safety culture, using culture maturity models, field engagement routines and a just culture approach to reporting and investigation. It then treats worker wellbeing as a safety issue in its own right, covering psychosocial risk assessment, fatigue, stress, substance misuse and return-to-work arrangements. The second half of the week concentrates on measurement: selecting indicators linked to specific risks, distinguishing activity counts from genuine measures of control effectiveness, checking critical controls on site and building an assurance programme that reports honestly to management.
Teaching combines short briefings with incident case studies, indicator-design workshops and role-played field conversations. Participants work on examples drawn from their own operations, so that the indicator set, wellbeing actions and leadership routines they draft during the week can be taken straight back to the workplace.
Training Objectives
On completing the course, participants will be able to:
- Assess the maturity of their organisation's safety culture and identify the leadership behaviours that shape it.
- Conduct structured safety conversations and leadership field visits that surface real operational risk.
- Apply just culture principles to incident reporting, investigation and accountability decisions.
- Identify psychosocial hazards and fatigue risks and plan controls in line with ISO 45003.
- Design leading indicators that are linked to specific hazards and critical controls.
- Verify the effectiveness of critical controls through field checks and assurance activities.
- Report safety performance and assurance findings to senior management and boards in a balanced way.
