Ron Bours has been teaching the topic of safety culture and the influence of resilience engineering at the HVK training in the Netherlands (Copla) and Belgium (Training prevention consultant 1 University of Antwerp) for many years.
Bours Consulting b.v. provides workshops for upper, middle and lower management.
● Safety Leadership for top and middle management
● Safety Masterclasses for safety specialists
● Safety days and team activities for employees
Recently developed specific webinar training courses:
● Safety culture measurement and reporting
● Resilience in safety (Safety 1* and Safety 2** theory)
● Work analysis using the FRAM method (Work as imagined – work as done)
● Dual system in the brains and explanation of the plant view method
● “Drift to Danger”. Keep the safety at a high level
All workshops and training courses are custom made for the participants, whereby the topics are coordinated with the client. Oftentimes a “train the trainer” principle will be applied.
