Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in applying HSSE management tools and techniques in realistic contractor scenarios. Learners will conduct risk assessments, review permits, perform audits, and investigate incidents, ensuring they can translate theory into effective practice.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment — Learners work in groups to conduct a simulated workplace inspection, identify hazards, and complete a risk assessment using provided templates. (4h)
• Practical 2: Permit to Work (PTW) Review and Issuance — Learners participate in a role-play exercise where they review and issue permits for various high-risk activities, ensuring compliance with PTW procedures. (4h)
• Practical 3: HSSE Audit Simulation — Learners conduct a mock HSSE audit of a contractor site using a standard checklist, then present findings and recommend corrective actions. (4h)
• Practical 4: Incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis — Learners analyze a real-world incident scenario, conduct a root cause analysis using techniques like 5 Whys or fishbone, and develop a corrective action plan. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
