Good points Robb, so thank you.
I am just going to:oncentrate on the significant risks. It is a balancing act.
In learning (hate 'training') we do get the learners to tell us what the hazards and their risks are. But always looking for ideas on how to engage the learners.
Thanks again.

Yes (no difference), that's the added complication: work instruction and Safe Operating Procedures.
So, trying to make it short enough so that the workers will read (and follow?) the steps but include the safety points too. Then design practical, engaging learning on the SOP and the 'Why".
Good fun!

Thanks guys. Very interesting.
Organisations are keen to be able to prove that their people have been trained against the SOPs. The proof is completed written assessments (by individuals, pairs or even groups). It gives them (some) confidence that they know the SOPs. This is a practical response and should satisfy WorkSafe in the event of an incident, as it is in line with the HSWA requirements.
What references would you recommend, particularly along the lines of the training that your organisation undertakes, Stephen? I have the opportunity (in Lockdown) to have a think and design learning that satisfies the PUBC's requirement to follow the SOPs but also to be more creative in exploring, with practical activities, the 'Why".
I am using cards that describe the procedure steps; quiz; scenarios suggested by the learners; case studies from incident reports and media; looking at taking videos of their work out in the field. I do not want the learners writing or having set discussions. Its got to be practical. It will not touch LLN either.
Just interested in short, practical activities that I can incorporate into a competency framework.

A company that I work with uses the SHE Assure software system

This is useful https://www.nzta.govt.nz/safety/driving-safely/fatigue/ - I don't think it just relates to driving

hi Lee
Keep it real - specific information and ideas that you want to get over along with examples that the learners can relate too.
Stories are always good. case studies; WorkSafe's media releases; newspaper articles; Safeguard articles
Discussions - set the situation and get learners to contribute their stories
Short videos that focus on key points.
Cartoons and games
I use cards a lot - matching this to that; put in order/sequence/process; parts to labels; etc - anything and everything that is visual and tactile
What happened next? i.e. describe a situation and then ask what happens next - and what went wrong
And, I am (hopefully going to) developing a H&S pub quiz - general and specific questions - for the end of the session/day to reinforce learning and have some fun - can carry over points to next session/day

Happy to help!

Thanks Amanda. I have added an appropriate disclaimer based on your post.
I have set up LearnOn Limited, a LLC. I also aim to get Liability Insurance (soon).
The disclaimer is more for the client to realise that they need to complete the plan themselves particularly as the meeting will be via Zoom/virtual. I will then follow up later to check how they were doing.
This Action Plan is intended for new, small businesses that need H&S help.

Yes, I saw it after I completed my Guide. ConstructSafe have a good now too. I hope my guide allows businesses to get on with it as it has steps to complete. Feedback has been good.

Hi Amy
I have just finished and published a document about 5 points for working productivity at home and have an ergonomic workstation article that I put together that I will send you.
Let me know what you think.

Hi Theresa, I would love to see the guideline.
Many thanks
