For the owners and directors who set the risk appetite, fund the controls and need to know whether they are working.
Owners, directors and senior managers make the decisions on budgets, schedules, structure and contracting that create or remove risk across the business. This briefing equips them to oversee WHS risk, ask the right questions and recognise when a risk report is telling them nothing.
It covers governance responsibilities, risk appetite and tolerance, what a useful risk report looks like, leading and lagging indicators, and assurance. Officer duties are covered accurately for each jurisdiction, including Victoria, where the law takes a different form.
After the session, participants will be able to:
Yes. It works as a briefing for an owner and their managers, a small leadership team or a board, in under two hours, and stands on its own.
Yes. Victoria's OHS Act takes a different form from the harmonised WHS laws, including how officers can be liable, and the briefing explains the difference rather than assuming one model.
Yes. Presentations, guides, workbooks and templates are supplied in editable formats so you can adapt them to your workplace. The copyright notice must stay.
Yes. The method applies in any workplace and follows the same principles as ISO 31000 (risk management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management systems). The legal content refers to Australian work health and safety (WHS and OHS) laws, so a business elsewhere should replace those slides with its own country's requirements. The materials are editable for exactly that.
Yes. The package includes an editable completion certificate template, plus an attendance register or training records spreadsheet, so you can keep proof of who completed the training for your WHS records. It is a certificate of completion issued by your business, not a nationally recognised qualification.
Yes. The packages are designed for face-to-face sessions and work over a video meeting platform. The facilitator guide notes where an activity needs adjusting for online delivery.
Yes, as many times as you like, for your own organisation's workers.
