I am developing an EH&S training strategy for my company which is a large multinational. I am interested to hear from anyone in a similar large manufacturing organisation as I would like to benchmark with anyone who is willing to share how their organisation approaches EH&S training for their EH&S professionals, senior management, middle management / plant management, etc. i look forward to your replies.

Surely the approach is to assess for each role what their EHS responsibilities are; what skills and knowledge are required to do this; what skills etc they have now.

The "gap" then forms the basis for a training "plan". Surely the "strategy" is to have people trained according to the level of responsibility/knowledge/skill required?

I would say that the EH&S professionals should define their own training within the scope of their roles, eg general certificate, diploma then specialisms such as construction and fire. For the hands on managers then Managing Safely, for senior managers just an awareness and for everyone else training on all topics but the depth adjusted from awareness to acredited according to role

i agree with Pikeman, have a gap analysis study by an third party. They can come up with recommendation. We did similar in our organisation. The gap analysis was done by ABS and the recommendation was to provide training on "HSE Leadership" for all management staffs, LOB Managers and for supervisors "Dupont STOP for supervision".
A new division was formed "Learning and development" , its their responsibility to identify the training needs and arranging it.
We have seen a big change, really big.

Cheers,
