Acting on Warning Signs
 
"Prior to any major accident there are always warning signs, which had they been responded to would have averted the accident, but they weren't. They were ignored. Very often there is a whole culture of denial operating to suppress these warning signs." - Professor Andrew Hopkins
 
Organisational culture is one of the key factors why companies fail to recognise crucial warning signs prior to workplace incidents and this programme has been specifically designed to assist front line management address the shortfalls of traditional organisational mindsets. It provides the tools to significantly improve the management of Occupational Health and Safety risks for which they are responsible.
