SHEQ training course

Lesson 1 • Regulatory and Standards Landscape

Surveys the global regulatory frameworks and voluntary standards governing QHSE. Equips learners to identify applicable requirements in their workplace context.

Lesson 2 • Organisational QHSE Culture

Examines how leadership behaviour and employee attitudes shape QHSE outcomes. Provides tools to assess and strengthen workplace culture.

Lesson 3 • Introduction to QHSE Principles

Defines quality, hygiene, safety, and environment as a unified discipline. Anchors all subsequent chapters by establishing shared vocabulary and purpose.

Lesson 1 • Hazard Identification Methods

Introduces structured techniques for uncovering hazards before incidents occur. Connects observation, documentation, and worker input into a repeatable process.

Lesson 2 • Types of Workplace Hazards

Classifies physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial hazards. Provides the taxonomy needed to conduct thorough workplace inspections.

Lesson 3 • Risk Assessment Techniques

Applies qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate likelihood and severity of harm. Produces risk scores that guide control prioritisation.

Lesson 4 • Hierarchy of Controls Application

Applies the elimination-to-PPE control hierarchy to prioritise risk reduction actions. Demonstrates decision logic for selecting the most effective control level.

Lesson 1 • Permit-to-Work Systems

Explains how formal permit systems control high-risk activities such as confined space entry and hot work. Trains learners to issue, verify, and close permits correctly.

Lesson 2 • Safety Programme Design

Outlines the components of an effective workplace safety programme aligned with management system standards. Establishes the structural foundation for all safety activities.

Lesson 3 • Incident Investigation and Reporting

Applies root cause analysis methods to workplace incidents to prevent recurrence. Produces investigation reports that drive systemic corrective actions.

Lesson 4 • Safety Inspections and Audits

Distinguishes routine inspections from formal audits and trains learners to conduct both. Findings feed directly into corrective action and continuous improvement cycles.

Lesson 1 • Occupational Exposure Limits

Explains how exposure limits for chemicals, noise, and radiation are established and applied. Provides the reference framework for all subsequent monitoring activities.

Lesson 2 • Workplace Exposure Monitoring

Trains learners to design and execute air, noise, and biological monitoring programmes. Results are interpreted against exposure limits to trigger control actions.

Lesson 3 • Ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Health

Applies ergonomic principles to reduce musculoskeletal disorder risk in manual and sedentary tasks. Connects workstation design to measurable health outcomes.

Lesson 4 • Noise and Vibration Control

Identifies sources of occupational noise and vibration and applies engineering and administrative controls. Supports hearing conservation programme design.

Lesson 1 • HACCP System Implementation

Guides learners through all seven HACCP principles from hazard analysis to verification. Produces a documented HACCP plan applicable to a real production process.

Lesson 2 • Principles of Food Safety Hygiene

Covers microbial contamination pathways, temperature control, and cross-contamination prevention. Forms the scientific basis for all food hygiene control measures.

Lesson 3 • Pest Control and Facility Maintenance

Integrates pest prevention into facility design and maintenance routines. Establishes monitoring and response protocols to eliminate pest-related contamination risks.

Lesson 4 • Hygiene Auditing and Verification

Applies audit techniques to verify hygiene programme compliance and identify gaps. Connects audit findings to corrective actions and continuous improvement.

Lesson 1 • Environmental Emergency Response

Prepares learners to respond to spills, releases, and other environmental emergencies. Integrates environmental response into the broader emergency management framework.

Lesson 2 • Energy and Resource Efficiency

Applies energy auditing and resource efficiency techniques to reduce operational footprint. Links efficiency improvements to cost savings and environmental targets.

Lesson 3 • Air Emissions and Water Discharge Control

Identifies sources of air and water pollution from operations and applies control measures. Connects monitoring data to permit conditions and corrective actions.

Lesson 4 • Waste Management and Minimisation

Applies waste hierarchy principles to reduce, reuse, recycle, and safely dispose of operational waste. Trains learners to classify waste streams and select appropriate disposal routes.

Lesson 1 • Statistical Process Control

Applies control charts and process capability analysis to monitor and stabilise production processes. Enables data-driven decisions to maintain quality within specification.

Lesson 2 • Supplier Quality Management

Establishes processes for qualifying, monitoring, and developing suppliers to ensure incoming quality. Integrates supplier performance data into the overall quality management system.

Lesson 3 • Quality Management System Fundamentals

Explains the process approach, Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, and risk-based thinking in quality systems. Establishes the structural logic underlying all quality management activities.

Lesson 4 • Root Cause and Problem-Solving Tools

Applies structured problem-solving methods including 8D, fishbone, and 5-Why to quality defects. Produces corrective actions that address root causes rather than symptoms.

Lesson 1 • QHSE System Certification and Surveillance

Prepares organisations for third-party certification audits and ongoing surveillance visits. Trains learners to maintain system readiness and respond to audit findings.

Lesson 2 • QHSE Key Performance Indicators

Selects and defines leading and lagging KPIs that reflect integrated QHSE performance. Connects indicator design to organisational objectives and stakeholder expectations.

Lesson 3 • Internal Audit Programme Management

Designs and manages a risk-based internal audit programme covering all QHSE disciplines. Produces audit schedules, competent audit teams, and actionable findings.

Lesson 4 • Continual Improvement Methodologies

Applies Lean, Six Sigma, and kaizen principles to eliminate waste and reduce variation in QHSE processes. Builds a structured improvement pipeline from idea to verified result.
