How many serious incidents in facilities operations were genuinely unpredictable? Very few, if the record is examined honestly. Most trace back to a hazard someone already knew about — one that sat on a report, got acknowledged, and never actually got fixed before it caught up with someone.

The Risk Assessment, Compliance and Workplace Safety Culture training course, delivered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, is built to close that gap between knowing about a hazard and doing something about it. It covers embedding occupational safety into daily operations, maintaining compliance as regulations keep shifting, and running risk assessment processes that lead to real corrective action rather than a filed report.

Participants leave able to identify hazards before they become incidents, build workplace safety practices that hold up under real conditions, and manage HSE responsibilities with the seriousness they deserve.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Define the scope and responsibilities of Facilities HSE management.
• Apply occupational safety principles across maintenance, contractor, and daily operational activities.
• Maintain regulatory compliance across health, safety, and environmental requirements.
• Conduct effective risk assessment processes that translate into real corrective action.
• Build workplace safety programs that engage staff and investigate incidents to prevent recurrence.
• Manage contractor and vendor safety performance and accountability on facilities sites.
