Understand the systems that govern safety.Learn the skills necessary to enact a new kind of safety leadership that puts a focus on the practical expertise needed to get the job done.

You will learn about resilience, complexity science and holism and be taken on an exciting journey into a new era of safety. You will study a range of theories that focus on why accidents happen and how they can be prevented, including normal accidents theory, human reliability theory, as well as structural and interpretational perspectives to risk and safety. With this knowledge, you will be capable of critiquing safety practices and comparing and contrasting the strengths and weaknesses of accident models, ensuring your analysis and critical thinking can help improve safety systems in your own workplace.
