OGUK builds on assurance resources for HCR prevention OGUK’s Assurance and Verification Task Finish Group has continued its work with the production of supporting documentation following the recent publication of the Assurance Guidelines. The new Assurance Toolkit contains the Assurance Guidelines, plus a Gap Analysis tool, allowing organisations to identify strengths and weaknesses in the management and realisation of their Assurance Programme, and a leadership training slideshow. The Assurance Toolkit will be further enhanced by a Practitioner Training Slideshow, also complete with presenter’s notes. This training document is aimed at those who support assurance activities, such as OIM’s, Safety Representatives, HSE Advisors and Technical Authorities. The Assurance and Verification Task Finish Group also ran a pilot training session in early February, prior to publishing the finalised slideshow.
