Climate change is turning occasional extremes into routine workplace conditions, and employers who ignore them face injury, lost productivity and legal exposure. At the same time, psychosocial hazards such as excessive workload, poor support, violence and harassment are recognised as genuine health and safety risks. Both are hard to see with traditional paper-based systems because they are diffuse, seasonal and sensitive.

The Digital Transformation in Climate-Related and Psychosocial Workplace Risk Training Course applies digital methods to this combined challenge. Participants start by mapping climate and psychosocial hazards and the groups most exposed, then learn how to capture data through mobile forms, low-cost sensors, weather and heat index feeds, and structured surveys. They go on to build dashboards, define thresholds, automate alerts and link findings to controls, return-to-work support and reporting.

Because data about people's wellbeing is sensitive, the course gives equal weight to ethics, anonymity, consent and trust. Learning is practical: participants work with sample datasets and build a simple monitoring dashboard, then plan how to roll it out with managers and workers.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

• Identify climate-related and psychosocial hazards and the workers most exposed to them.
• Set up digital hazard, incident and near-miss reporting using mobile forms.
• Use environmental and wearable sensor data to manage heat stress and air quality.
• Design wellbeing and psychosocial risk surveys with sound anonymity safeguards.
• Build dashboards that combine climate and psychosocial indicators into clear risk views.
• Define thresholds and alerts that trigger controls such as work-rest adjustments.
• Apply data protection, consent and ethical principles to workforce monitoring.
• Plan the rollout and change management of digital OHS tools.

The course is for people who manage workplace health, safety and wellbeing, including:

• HSE officers and safety managers
• Occupational health nurses and doctors
• HR and employee wellbeing managers
• Facilities and operations managers
• Sustainability and climate adaptation officers
• Union and workers' health and safety representatives
• Site supervisors in construction, mining and agriculture
• Data and ICT officers supporting safety systems

Participants leave with:

• A map of climate and psychosocial hazards for their own workplace.
• A mobile hazard-reporting form and a pulse survey they can adapt.
• A heat stress response protocol linked to sensor or forecast triggers.
• A prototype dashboard combining climate and wellbeing indicators.
• A privacy and consent checklist for monitoring staff.
• A rollout plan with owners, timelines and training needs.

Because the subject combines safety science and data practice, delivery relies on practical work, including:

• Short briefings on hazard science and standards
• Software labs building forms, surveys and dashboards with sample data
• Scenario work on heat events and workload spikes
• Facilitated discussion of consent and data ethics
• A final prototype review with trainer feedback

Participants who attend the full programme and complete the practical labs are awarded a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion by Vision Reach Global Consultancy.
