Core concepts

Concept 1

Visible supervisor behaviour sets the practical standard more strongly than slogans.

Exam cue: Explain the reason for the control and ask workers to describe it back.

Concept 2

Inductions, method briefings and toolbox talks must be relevant, understandable and interactive.

Exam cue: Use observation and open questions to find weak signals.

Concept 3

Workers need credible routes to raise concerns, stop unsafe work and see that feedback produces action.

Exam cue: Intervene fairly, control danger and explore why the deviation occurred.

Risk pitfalls and guardrails
