Global HSE Academy · Prevention Education

Knowledge
that prevents.

Global HSE Academy is the occupational health and prevention education platform for governments, high-hazard industries, executives, and HSE professionals – building the capability to prevent disease before it appears in the workforce.

Built on
The Approach

Not compliance training. Prevention capability for occupational health leaders.

The Academy develops the judgement, language, and practical capability needed to lead prevention systems – from silica exposure control and workforce surveillance to national OSH implementation.
Principle 01

Prevention-first, not documentation-first.

Every programme is built around what stops occupational disease occurring – engineering controls, surveillance design, exposure science, and the decisions that turn policy into protection.

Principle 02

Field-tested. Not classroom-tested.

Curriculum direction is informed by field advisory work, research collaboration, standards development, and government engagement across high-hazard and resource-constrained settings.

Principle 03

Built for implementation in low-resource jurisdictions.

Designed by the Co-Convenor of the ISO 45001 Developing Countries Coordination Group, representing 80+ developing nations. Education that translates standards into workable systems.

Learning Pathways

Four pathways, from the workshop floor to the cabinet table.

The Academy is structured for the four audiences whose decisions shape occupational health outcomes. Each pathway develops a different layer of capability, while keeping workers, professionals, executives, and institutions aligned around prevention.
I
Foundation

Workers & Frontline Supervisors

Builds practical prevention literacy for workers and supervisors: how exposure occurs, how disease develops, and what controls must be recognised, used, and escalated.

Featured Programme Areas · Preview

Featured programmes across silica prevention, high-hazard workforce health and national OSH systems.

A strategic preview, organised by capability. Programme availability can be confirmed during consultation as field evidence, regulatory developments, and occupational disease patterns require – including engineered stone safety and silicosis / TB co-diagnosis.
Foundation · I

Silica 101 – Foundations of Exposure & Prevention

The foundation programme for silica prevention: what crystalline silica is, where workers encounter it, how disease develops, and which controls prevent exposure.

2–3 hrs Self-Paced Learning By arrangement Under review
Practitioner · II

Advanced Silica Control Strategies

Applies the hierarchy of controls to mining, construction and stone fabrication, with emphasis on engineering controls, exposure reduction, and intervention design.

4–6 hrs Organisational Programmes To confirm Under review

Programme coordination

A short path
from interest to planning.

Individual learners use the Academy for professional development in occupational health prevention. Organisations, executives and institutions use it to build consistent capability across teams, sites and national systems.

Delivery Model

Self-Paced Learning, Organisational Programmes and Multilingual Learning Pathways can be coordinated through an appropriate learning delivery model once programme scope, audience and availability are reviewed. Curriculum & faculty: Global HSE.

i

Choose a programme or pathway

Review the featured programme areas, or speak with the Academy for a pathway recommendation for an individual, executive group, organisation or institution.

ii

Coordinate programme availability

Individual or organisational options are reviewed after programme fit, audience, timing and delivery requirements are understood.

iii

Plan the learning pathway

Self-Paced Learning, Executive Briefings or Organisational Programmes can be scheduled once scope is agreed and availability is confirmed. Participation records or completion documentation are available where applicable.

For Organisations

Build occupational health capability across your organisation.

Mining houses, governments, international agencies and corporations operating in high-hazard environments use the Academy to align teams, executives and institutions around prevention, accountability and implementation.

01

Organisational Programmes

Team participation, sub-team grouping, and manager visibility can be coordinated by programme scope.

02

Executive Briefings

Focused occupational health leadership sessions for boards, senior teams, investors and decision-makers.

03

Multilingual Learning Pathways

English, Arabic and French pathways for organisations and institutions working across jurisdictions.

04

Institutional Capacity Building

Programmes for ministries, regulators and agencies building national OSH systems, inspectorate capability and Train-the-Trainer Development.
