SAF0101WS – Potential Serious Injury or Fatality (PSIF)

Description

Estimated Time: 2 hours

Language: English

Summary of the lecture

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Potential Serious Injury or Fatality (PSIF) concepts and develops the practical risk-management skills needed to prevent life-altering injuries and fatalities in steel operations.

Learners progress from understanding the principles of PSIF classification and fatal-risk awareness to applying PSIF thinking in real workplace situations. Through practical scenarios, operational examples, and decision-making exercises, participants learn to identify serious-risk exposure, evaluate potential severity, verify critical controls, manage changing conditions, and support meaningful organisational learning.

The course promotes a proactive safety culture focused on preventing catastrophic events before harm occurs.

What you will learn:

  • Define PSIF principles and distinguish PSIFs from other safety event classifications.
  • Identify credible fatality and life-altering injury exposure across operational environments.
  • Evaluate workplace events based on potential severity rather than actual outcomes.
  • Verify the effectiveness of critical controls and barriers under real operating conditions.
  • Respond appropriately when changing conditions create increased PSIF exposure.
  • Support organisational learning and continuous improvement through effective PSIF reporting, classification, and review.
