Our approach
+IMPAC's Working with Multiple PCBUs training approach
This course is delivered in a practical, discussion-led way so learners can work through what shared duties look like in real workplaces. Rather than staying at the level of theory, facilitators use examples and guided scenarios to help participants think through contractor selection, scope definition, responsibility setting, prequalification, and the points where coordination between PCBUs often breaks down.
The training focuses on turning legal duties into usable day-to-day processes. Participants work through what good contractor management looks like before work starts, how health and safety plans should support the job rather than sit on a shelf, and how gaps can emerge when several organisations are involved in the same site or project. The emphasis stays on practical decision-making and coordination in the kinds of operational, maintenance, shutdown, and project environments where overlapping duties need to be actively managed.
