Critical controls are the final line between incident and catastrophe. This one-day course teaches participants how to identify critical controls, define their performance requirements, assess vulnerability and build a system that verifies effectiveness.

Who Should Attend

This course is specifically designed for:

• WHS and risk professionals responsible for critical risk programs

• Operational leaders, supervisors and frontline managers

• Safety advisors, auditors and assurance teams

• ICAM investigators linking learnings back into controls

• Anyone accountable for managing high-consequence risk

This is the next step for those who have completed the Risk Bowtie course, or who need deeper control assurance skills.

What You Will Learn

✔ Identify controls vs non-controls using ISO & ICMM criteria

✔ Apply the ICMM Critical Control Decision Tree with accuracy

Why Risk Bowtie Analysis?

Most incidents are not caused by a lack of paperwork; they occur because critical controls fail. Bowties uncover those weak points and critical control management implements the framework before the incident happens.

This course gives participants a clear method to:

• Improve control effectiveness

• Strengthen risk assurance programs

• Support critical risk decision-making

• Drive organisational learning and accountability
