"The process of Safety Management is not a gift - we acquire it through learning and personal development.  An early step and common request is providing a site specific safety plan - a task that many ask, where do I begin?  The Advanced Passport - Workplace Safety Course can show you the way to produce and implement such a plan."   Maurie Rohloff, Health and Safety Manager, Lower North Island, The Fletcher Construction Company

An ‘Advanced Passport’ course providing a ‘step-up’ for Passport level trainees, as well as training for those involved in the Site Specific Safety Planning and Task Analysis process.  

The Advanced Passport course was developed in response to Industry’s need to implement best practice in site specific safety planning and also to provide a ‘step up’ for Passport level trainees.   It is a one-day course designed to help site workers at all levels of a company deliver high level site safety performance through a greater focus on safety culture, better Site Specific Safety Planning and improved Task Analysis.   Who should attend this course? 

• Passport level trainees (who may have previously done 1, 2 or more Passport courses and are ready to expand their safety competencies and step up a level of safety training)
• Individuals who are site leaders (at all levels) for their companies (senior site staff, leading hands, foremen etc.   These trainees may not have the responsibilities of a true supervisor or may not yet have the competencies required for the full two-day Supervisor Gold Card course.)
• Subcontractors and individuals involved in the Site Specific Safety Planning process
• Main contractors, quantity surveyors etc preparing and screening tender documents (who need to understand what they should be looking for in the Site Specific Safety Planning process)

Many main contractors and other principals are now also making the Site Specific Safety Plan a compulsory requirement for all contractors working on site nationwide.   The Advanced Passport course will assist main and subcontractors develop and implement robust Site Specific Safety Plans and Task Analysis. 

The Goals of the course are to:

•     Introduce site workers at all levels of a company to the behavioural and cultural aspects of safety – the aspects that really drive safety performance
•     Assist trainees develop and implement Site Specific Safety Plans and Task Analysis
•     Provide Passport level trainees with a true ‘advanced’ Passport enabling them to further expand and grow their safety knowledge and competencies

The course also explores the many “non-accident” benefits that are achieved when safety responsibilities are met.   It examines what drives a culture of safety on site, the accountability process and the impact positive consequences have on worker behaviour.

Course Outline

•     Safety culture – what it is and what drives it
•     Recognising the full company and site benefits of excellence in safety performance
•     The Hazard Management Process and site leader responsibilities
•     Understanding and completing Site Specific Safety Plans
•     Completing quality Task Analysis

Safety Culture

The Advanced Passport course looks closely at three influencers of safety culture:  belief in the benefits of safety, accountability and behaviour change.   This course steps up the trainees knowledge and understanding that it isn’t just the rules and systems that drive culture and behaviour, it is actually a leader’s own involvement in safety activities that make them important and worth doing.  

Site Specific Safety Planning and Task Analysis

Site Specific Safety Plans contribute to a project in many ways.   In addition to improved planning and productivity, Safety Plans communicate site safety responsibilities and expectations to all parties, and they also form an agreement between main contractors and subcontractors on required safety activities.   Site Safety Plans are also an excellent tool to use to monitor that these activities are happening on site.   This course will teach trainees how to complete a Site Specific Safety Plan including best practice safety activity and record keeping requirements.   It will demonstrate how each activity is carried out on site.   The course will also teach trainees how to properly complete the Task Analysis process.   To ensure these parts of the course apply to each trainee, they will be taught using cases studies and real jobs carried out throughout the construction industry.   Each trainee will select an actual construction job and using it they will complete a Site Specific Safety Plan and a Task Analysis.   This will ensure that when undertake or participate in these activities on site, they are competent to complete them.  

Improving safety knowledge

To ensure Advanced Passport holders are kept up-to-date with best practice developments in health and safety, a refresher course every two years is required.   The next logical step for many trainees after this course will be to attend the Supervisor Gold Card course.
