Functional Safety Leadership Briefing Training Course

Brochure (PDF)

Our =Method “Leadership Briefing” training course is run at your site or nominated venue and can be entirely customised to your needs. We decide together what you need from the training and design an approach that is right for you and your team.

The briefing is typically delivered in a 2-hour session. It focuses on the essential topics that the leadership team need to understand.

It provides sufficient background on Process and Functional Safety, so that the context is understood, and expands on the responsibilities that rest at board level. It looks at examples of legal action that can be taken against non-compliant sites and outlines how the Senior Management Team can practically implement Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and "touch points" that will allow them to discharge their responsibilities and monitor their site’s Process and Functional Safety.

The “Leadership Briefing” often works best once =Method has reviewed the organisations current approach to Process and Functional Safety – a one day review prior to the event allows us to highlight key areas for improvement and propose an outline action plan that can be included as part of the briefing.

We also do an introduction to functional safety course for Engineers.
