Based on the EEA’s Safety in Design Guide (2016) the purpose of the Safety in Design (SiD) course is to give participants an understanding of the contribution of a variety of perspectives to SiD, and practice using a selection of risk-based tools and techniques in real-world scenarios.
Course structure
We have embraced the concept of Kāhui Ako (communities of learning) in the delivery of the SiD courses. ElectroNet and other experts tutor the course, and we work with you beforehand to ensure that your needs are catered to, and that the case studies are relevant.
Workshops include:
- Case studies provided by other organisations who have completed the courses, and have donated their material and lessons learned
- Case studies provided by you

About the SiD course
The SiD course involves a comprehensive online component (taking approximately 6hrs), followed by either a full-day onsite workshop, or four, 2hr group webinars over a four-week period. You can choose which type of workshop is best for you and your organisation.
Once complete, we offer an organisational SiD Maturity Assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to objectively assess an organisation’s SiD maturity, with the results presented in the form of a SiD improvement plan.
