Certified Programme in Management of Security Intelligence and Safety in the Workplace

This combined programme in Management of Security, Intelligence and Safety in the Workplace delivers an integrated approach to occupational health, safety, and security management.

It is tailored for managers, directors, and other professionals responsible for daily operational oversight of workplace safety and security, and is equally valuable to practitioners seeking to strengthen cross-disciplinary competence.

The course addresses core principles of health and safety management, including the legislative framework, risk assessment methodologies, and recognised control standards. Delegates will receive and work with health and safety checklists, reporting templates, and record-keeping forms. Additional focus is given to specific domains such as construction safety, environmental management, and international best practices.

A comprehensive review of legislative instruments will be undertaken, including:

  • Site Waste Management Plans Regulations

  • Control of Artificial Radiation at Work Regulations

  • Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations (CHIP4)

  • Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)

  • European Classification, Packaging and Labelling Regulations

Beyond health and safety, the programme also explores workplace security management. Key topics include:

  • Physical security (e.g. door entry systems, equipment cages, key cabinets)

  • Asset protection (e.g. safes, secure storage)

  • Organisational security planning

  • Internal communication protocols for safety and security

  • Environmental factors affecting security decisions

  • Sector-specific and premises-based risk factors

Particular attention is given to balancing effective security with openness and accessibility, a key tension in modern workplace design. Delegates will develop the skills to create and maintain a security posture that supports both operational integrity and user-friendly environments for staff, clients, and visitors.

Special focus areas include:

  • Security operations in the public sector

  • Conflict management strategies in private security contexts

Legal and regulatory aspects are a key component of the programme. Relevant statutes covered include:

  • The Data Protection Act 1998 (in the context of CCTV and surveillance)

  • The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

  • The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

Compliance with these laws is essential to ensuring employers fulfil their duty of care obligations and maintain lawful workplace surveillance and incident management systems.

Certifications:

Delegates who complete the programme (subject to meeting assessment requirements) will receive two recognised qualifications:

  • HSE-approved IOSH Certificate

  • SIA-approved Security Certificate

Note: A written assessment is mandatory for each certification. Terms and conditions apply.
