Due Diligence Workshop

Overview

This two hour program introduces the Due Diligence Model for Process Safety and how it applies to leadership roles in high hazard environments. It explores the practical, legal and operational expectations placed on leaders and officers and examines how due diligence activities influence decisions, oversight and organisational capability. The session uses a case study to highlight the difference between personal safety and process safety and why leadership behaviours matter in preventing major accidents.

  • Leaders and officers with accountability for process safety outcomes
  • Executives and Board members
