CPD accredited · Safe Systems of Work Awareness

Training that proves your workforce knows what to do.

Three parts, one programme: in-person sessions delivered on your site, ongoing platform access to the video course and scenario library, and realistic practice scenarios where your people make the decisions that matter before they meet them on site.

01 · What's included

A programme, not a training day.

A one-off session fades within weeks. This combines taught delivery, a platform your workforce keeps access to, and practice scenarios built around your own site, so awareness is refreshed and re-evidenced rather than expiring.

01

In-person training on your site

Andrew delivers each cohort himself: half a day, twelve learners, taught segments alternating with practice scenarios and group debrief.

Scheduled around shifts and shutdown windows
Contractors and direct workforce alike
Certificate of completion and assessed record per learner

02

Ongoing platform access

Every learner keeps an account on the learning platform: the full video course, the scenario library, and refresher material they can return to whenever a task or a rule changes.

Video course covering the full syllabus
Scenario library open for repeat practice
Progress and completion visible to your training team
Continuing access · per learner
03

Practice scenarios built for your site

Realistic scenarios built around your site, so learners practise the call before they meet it.

Reusable for inductions and new starters
Built once · reused indefinitely
02 · Outcomes

What your teams can do the next morning.

Awareness training usually ends with a signature on a register. This ends with people who have already made the decision once, under pressure, and been shown what it cost.

O1

They know when to stop the job

The single behaviour that matters most. Learners practise raising a concern and halting work in a scenario where doing nothing has a visible consequence.

O2

They prove dead, every time

Prove dead, every time, with the right instrument and the right sequence, rehearsed until it feels automatic rather than optional.

O3

They read a permit properly

What a permit does and does not authorise, where the boundary of the work sits, and what to do when the job in front of them isn't the job on the paper.

O4

You can evidence it

Each learner leaves with a certificate of completion and an assessed competency record. Attendance registers are replaced with something that stands up at audit.

03 · Practice-based learning

Practise the call before it's real.

Reading about a safe system of work isn't the same as holding the line when someone is leaning on you to get the job done. So learners practise it: realistic scenarios where they talk through the situation with a colleague, supervisor or contractor, identify the hazard, and decide whether to stop the job or proceed. The scenario responds to what they actually say.

Because the scenarios are written around your site rather than a generic one, nothing has to be mentally translated afterwards. And because they live on the platform, learners can come back and practise again long after the in-person session has finished.

Learners respond in their own words, with no multiple choice and no right answer to spot
Every attempt is scored against clear criteria, with feedback straight away
Responses are recorded, so the debrief is about what happened, not what people remember
Scenarios can be tuned to your plant, your permit regime and your site rules

04 · Inside the in-person session

Half a day. Nobody sits still for it.

Each session alternates short taught segments, practice scenarios and group debrief, so no block runs longer than the room's attention. Assessment is continuous rather than a test at the end.

How the session runs
01
Why this matters here
Recent incidents in comparable environments and what the sequence of decisions actually looked like.

05 · Delivery on your site

We bring the kit. You give us a room.

Sessions run cohort by cohort until your workforce is covered, including contractors, and scenarios are tuned to the plant and permit regime your people actually work under.

D1

Everything arrives with us

Laptops, audio headsets and your site-tuned scenarios arrive with us. You provide a room with power and seating for twelve.

D2

Cohorts until you're covered

Twelve learners per half-day session, scheduled around shifts and shutdown windows. Contractors included.

D3

Tuned to your site

Scenarios reflect your plant, permit paperwork and site rules, so nothing has to be mentally translated afterwards.

D4

Records straight after

Certificates and competency records issued within two working days of each cohort.

07 · Who delivers it

Andrew Dowling

Certified Senior Authorised Person · APHV1

For over two decades, I have been involved in safety-critical isolation and energisation work within high-risk industrial and electrical environments. My experience spans switching operations, electrical isolation, commissioning, system handovers, and first-time energisation of new installations. This course has been developed from lessons learned in the field, with realistic scenarios that reflect the pressures, hazards, and decision-making requirements of actual site operations, rather than purely theoretical examples.

I deliver every session personally. Nothing is subcontracted.
