A warming climate and changing patterns of work have added new layers to occupational risk. Outdoor workers face longer heat seasons and flood disruption, while office and field staff alike report stress, fatigue and poor mental health. Both types of hazard are hard to manage without numbers, because the effects are gradual, shared across teams and often under-reported.

This programme teaches participants to treat climate-related and psychosocial risk as data problems with practical answers. It starts with the hazards themselves and the data an organisation already holds, then covers collecting reliable inputs, cleaning records and choosing sensible measures. Participants learn descriptive and trend analysis, risk matrices and scoring, survey analysis for psychosocial factors, and how to link absence, incident and exposure data. Later sessions turn to dashboards, thresholds that trigger action, reporting to leadership and ethical handling of personal information.

Learning is hands-on. Participants analyse prepared datasets in Excel and Power BI, interpret results with the facilitator and finish with a draft monitoring plan and dashboard for their own workplace.

After the programme, participants will be able to:

• Identify climate-related and psychosocial hazards and the data that describe them.
• Clean and structure incident, absence, exposure and survey data for analysis.
• Apply descriptive statistics and trend analysis to workplace risk data.
• Score and prioritise risks using consistent matrices and indicators.
• Analyse wellbeing survey results against recognised psychosocial risk factors.
• Set action thresholds for heat, flooding and other climate events.
• Build dashboards that report leading and lagging indicators to management.
• Handle sensitive wellbeing data in line with confidentiality principles.

The programme is designed for people who measure, manage or report workplace risk, including:

• Occupational health and safety officers and managers
• HR, wellbeing and employee assistance professionals
• Enterprise risk and sustainability officers
• Facilities, operations and site managers
• Occupational health nurses and doctors
• Labour inspectors and safety regulators
• Insurance and claims risk analysts
• Agriculture, construction and manufacturing supervisors

Participants complete the course with:

• A combined climate and psychosocial risk register structure.
• A working dashboard prototype in Excel or Power BI.
• A set of leading and lagging indicators for their workplace.
• A heat and flood action threshold protocol they can adapt.
• A wellbeing survey analysis template with a confidentiality checklist.
• A brief for management that links data findings to controls and budgets.

The format favours analysis practice over lectures:

• Facilitated demonstrations of each analytical technique
• Computer-based labs using prepared workplace datasets
• Dashboard building sessions in Excel and Power BI
• Discussion of ethical and legal handling of health information
• Group review of participants' draft monitoring plans

Every participant who attends the sessions and completes the analysis exercises receives a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy.
