Integrating Energy Based Safety with Critical Control Management

Why this course?
A fall from four metres carries roughly twice the energy needed to kill someone about twice a measurable, objective lethal threshold. Most bowties already list "fall from height" as a threat. Almost none of them say that. Ask most sites two simple questions how much energy is actually present in your highest risks, and which critical control genuinely stops it from flowing and the answers get vague fast. Programs spend their time on the hardware. The energy is what kills.
Energy Based Safety asks one question instead: where is the energy that can kill? Ten energy types, mapped on a single wheel, tested against a measurable lethal threshold. Christian Young's talk shows how that lens lines up with critical control management almost exactly a shared idea of energy source, pathway, and the touchpoint where a human action releases it and turns it into three concrete opportunities: one that flags fatal hazards objectively instead of by judgement call, one that gives the word "critical" an actual physical test, and one simple tool that puts all of it in the hands of the frontline, at the point of work.
Christian Young unpacked all three at SafeMining 2026, drawing on Impress Solutions' 20+ operations and 25 years of critical risk management across coal, metalliferous, quarry and energy sites. There's more to it than a short read can cover — [get the free energy wheel + integration sheet
