Course Overview

The global growth of utility-scale solar power is an indicator of the importance of solar in the renewable energy mix. Commercially viable and high-return projects are meticulously planned and developed, then effectively constructed, operated and maintained. Each phase is equally important and dependent on the stage before.

Learning Aims

• Understand the consequences of strategic and tactical decisions on asset performance and safety.
• Design, execute and manage solar projects by proactively improving work packages and asset interfaces whilst managing supply chain variability more efficiently.
• Understand the effect of social cultures when establishing project organisations and developing safe systems of work in diverse jurisdictions.
• Develop project and asset management tools to better control and monitor opportunities and risks.

Programme Content

The industry-leading IOSH Construction and Operations Safety for Solar Power programme consists of powerful modules covering:

1. Growth of the global solar power industry. Lesser-known factors affecting solar project construction and O&M, including country factors leading to success, e.g. regulation, culture and management practice.
2. Pioneering health and safety risk management techniques for work planning and execution.
3. Best practice risk assessment as an operational decision-making tool and setting people to work processes.
4. Unlocking the power of successful organisational learning teams and managing change to develop your people toward greater results.
5. How to align organisation resources and processes to maximise asset value throughout the lifecycle.
6. Contract, project and operational key performance indicators (KPIs) for top results.

Why Attend this Course?

The global growth of utility-scale solar power is an indicator of the importance of solar in the renewable energy mix. Commercially viable and high-return projects are meticulously planned and developed, then effectively constructed, operated and maintained. Each phase is equally important and dependent on the stage before.

This programme equips Engineering, Construction and Asset Managers with a holistic view of the asset lifecycle and the impact of strategic, tactical and operational decision-making on safety and asset performance.

This is so much more than a standard IOSH awareness-level program. It takes a systems view of projects while navigating you through emergent properties such as time, cost, schedule and safety.

Is this an e-learning course? Well, no. Delivered by expert trainers, we harness the virtual environment like no one else does. Live presentations, group work, video assignments, and much more – we ensure you are engaged and learning through active problem-solving. No, not a traditional approach to safety.

But don’t just take our word for it. Hundreds of leading renewable energy organisations worldwide trust the ARMSA approach.
