Digital technologies and incident investigation

1 Understand the effects of digital technologies on strategic and operational occupational health and safety management

1.1 Evaluate the impact of digital technology on occupational health and safety within an organisation
1.2 Analyse the ways in which advanced robotics and artificial intelligence could contribute to the improved reduction of risks
1.3 Analyse the way in which advanced robotics and artificial intelligence could be detrimental to workers’ mental health longer term and develop a response that addresses these highlighted risks.


2 Be able to implement a biohazards risk assessment and control measures in the workplace


2.1 Analyse the way in which exposure and assessment are used in risk management
2.2 Analyse the way in which different workplaces can be protected from various identifiable infections
2.3 Develop a strategy that can reduce/limit the spread of infection within different workplaces
2.4 Analyse the requirements of a risk communication strategy to prevent the spread of infection


3 Understand the implementation of ecological risk assessment and control measures


3.1 Analyse the way in which the strategic and management goals of an organisation may be met
whilst addressing the impact of industrial activities on an ecosystem
3.2 Develop a realistic risk identification for an organisation’s ecological activities
3.3 Quantify an assessment for an organisation’s industrial activities
3.4 Evaluate the strategic and operational requirements of an ecological risk assessment that assesses the risks posed by industrial effluent on downstream ecosystems


4 Be able to implement engineering solutions for ergonomic hazards and control measures


4.1 Analyse the ergonomic risk factors in the workplace and their strategic and operational implications
4.2 Develop practicable ergonomic solutions that address risks in the workplace and their strategic and
operational implications
4.3 Quantify the costs and benefits of ergonomic solutions in the workplace


5 Understand the requirements of the implementation of risk assessment forbiological outbreaks and controlmeasures


5.1 Analyse the requirements of strategic risk and risk assessment for biological outbreaks
5.2 Analyse the requirements of immediate, mid and long term effective control measures to be implemented
5,3 Analyse the factors to be considered for a postdisaster assessment and reviews

6 Understand the likely failure scenarios for chemical hazards and control measures


6.1 Analyse the safety management requirements of process areas and identify likely failure points
6.2 Analyse the suitability and sufficiency of control measures for a process area and develop plans for improvement.


7 Be able to implement an accident causal analysis model for physical hazards


7.1 Identify the case of an accident through the application of root cause analysis
7.2 Develop practicable plans for the avoidance of similar accidents
7.3 Assess the costs to an organisation of physicalaccidents (financial, loss of time, reputational damage, complaints and general worker welfare issues)
7.4 Quantify the benefits of any enhanced safety control measures
