Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in applying HSSE leadership skills, including conducting risk assessments, investigating incidents, and delivering toolbox talks. These activities reinforce the theoretical concepts and build confidence in leading HSSE practices.

Practical Activities

• Risk Assessment Workshop — Learners conduct a comprehensive risk assessment on a simulated workplace scenario, identifying hazards and proposing controls. (6h)
• Incident Investigation Simulation — Learners participate in a simulated incident investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying root causes. (6h)
• Toolbox Talk Delivery — Each learner prepares and delivers a short toolbox talk on a relevant HSSE topic to a group of peers. (4h)
• HSSE Improvement Plan Development — Learners work in groups to develop an HSSE improvement plan for a case study organization, including goals, actions, and metrics. (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%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
