Operational Safety and Risk Management
Master the New Era of Swedish Construction Safety.
A premium, executive-level qualification designed specifically for the Swedish construction industry. Fully aligned with the new AFS 2023:1 regulations. 100% online, self-paced, and assessed through practical workplace application.
The Swedish construction industry is evolving, and so are its regulations. With the introduction of the consolidated AFS 2023:1 framework (effective January 2025), the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) has set a new, rigorous standard for Systematic Work Environment Management (SAM).
The Operational Safety and Risk Management (OSRM) course by the Northern Institute of Professional Development (NIPD) is engineered for leadership executives, site managers, and safety professionals who need to navigate this complex landscape with confidence.
This is not a standard compliance course. It is a comprehensive, 35-hour strategic programme that transforms safety from a bureaucratic obligation into a competitive operational advantage. You will learn to systematically identify hazards, assess risks, implement robust control measures, and build a proactive safety culture that protects your workforce and your organisation's reputation.
1. AFS 2023:1 Compliant
Future-proof your knowledge. Our curriculum is meticulously aligned with the latest Swedish Work Environment Act (Arbetsmiljölagen) and the new AFS 2023:1 regulations, ensuring you are operating to the 2025 standard.

Designed for busy construction executives. Access the 10 comprehensive modules via our premium QualsDirect e-platform. Study anywhere, anytime, and fit your professional development around your project schedule.
3. Practical Portfolio Assessment (No Exams)
We measure competence, not memory. Instead of a theoretical exam, you will complete a Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) — producing real-world risk assessments, safe systems of work, and incident analyses that you can immediately apply on your site.
4. Swedish Construction Focus
Learn the specific legal responsibilities of the Byggherre, Bas-P, Bas-U, and Contractors. Master the role of the Skyddsombud and understand how to manage the unique, dynamic hazards of Swedish construction sites.
The OSRM course delivers 30–35 hours of intensive, executive-level content, structured to guide you through the complete Systematic Work Environment Management (SAM) cycle.
Foundations of Swedish Work Environment Law and SAM
Hazard Identification in Operational Environments
Control Measures and Hierarchy of Control
Safe Systems of Work and Operational Procedures
Human Factors and Behavioural Safety
