Courses

Why does a building site with good procedures still have near misses? Often, the answer lies in safety culture: in what people believe, what managers tolerate and what really happens when the deadline gets tight. In this advanced course you learn to diagnose safety culture with perception surveys and the maturity ladder, to practise visible and consistent leadership, to analyse at-risk behaviour with the antecedents, behaviour, consequences model, to design a behavioural observation programme that avoids the most common pitfalls, to hold safety conversations and recognise safe behaviour, and to measure and sustain change with leading indicators and a culture improvement plan. Aligned with IOGP Report 452 and ISO 45001 as references. With a continuous case at a fictitious construction company that works with contractors, scenario-based decisions and downloadable templates. The course is delivered in Portuguese.

What you will learn

• Explain what safety culture is, distinguish culture from climate and diagnose culture with several methods.
• Demonstrate visible and consistent safety leadership, including at moments when production and safety seem to compete.
• Analyse at-risk behaviour with the antecedents, behaviour, consequences model and choose consequences that reinforce safe behaviour.
• Design a behavioural observation programme, avoiding card counting, blame and an exclusive focus on the worker.
• Hold structured safety conversations, recognise safe behaviour and intervene on at-risk behaviour.
• Measure culture with leading indicators and draw up a culture improvement plan sustained over time.
