The Foundations of Safety Professional Practice (FSPP) supports safety professionals working close to operations to confidently turn policy into practice. Grounded in contemporary safety thinking and real-world experience, it builds judgement, influence, and practical risk management capability.
Built for the reality of operational safety work.
Designed to have impact. Built for real world operations.
FSPP develops capability for strengthening decision-making, practical risk management, and the ability to influence how work is planned and carried out to improve the safety of work.
Partnering with Operations
Builds the capability to work alongside frontline workers, supervisors, and operational leaders to improve how work is planned and executed — shifting conversations from compliance activity to practical risk management that supports safe production.
Operational Influence
Develops the confidence and skill to influence frontline managers and senior operational leaders by framing risk in business-relevant terms and contributing constructively to operational and resourcing decisions.
Applied Risk Leadership
Strengthens the ability to identify critical risks, assess controls in real conditions, and guide improvements to control of work — focusing on how risk is actually managed by crews day-to-day.
Learning that Informs Decisions
Builds capability to generate insight from everyday frontline operations and translate that learning into meaningful improvements at both site and leadership level.
Operational Decision-Making
Develops strong professional judgement in environments shaped by production pressure, time constraints, and competing priorities — strengthening balanced decisions that improve the safety of work for those doing it.

The program is delivered through a focused online learning experience that creates momentum and depth. Participants stay connected to real work while engaging in structured learning that builds capability over time.
Weekly live sessions bring together safety professionals from across industries and geographies. Participants learn through shared challenge, comparison, and discussion, broadening perspective while sharpening professional judgement.
Learning is reinforced through tailored exercises and guided reflection grounded in participants’ own organisational contexts. This ensures insight is tested, refined, and translated into practical capability.
One-on-one coaching provides space to explore complex challenges, assumptions, and development goals. Participants receive targeted support to deepen learning and strengthen confidence in application.
The program integrates with demanding professional roles and schedules. Learning is paced to support deep engagement without stepping away from the work where capability needs to be applied.
