The Safety Leadership Challenge

BUILDING SAFETY LEADERSHIP SOFT-SKILLS FOR EXEMPLARY SAFETY PERFORMANCE

Despite decades of attention across a raft of disciplines, the goal of zero harm continues to elude the grasp of most organisations in heavy industry. Quite simply, the costs of incidents—both personal and financial—continue to accumulate and represent significant road-blocks to safety performance and societal wellbeing. To overturn these costs and continue to realise performance gains in safety, organisations must look beyond engineering-based control, behavioural and attitudinal solutions, and towards leadership. Specifically, organisations must look to build safety leadership soft-skills at all levels of their business.

In this white paper, we explore the fundamental soft-skills safety leaders need to effectively encourage a culture of Safety Citizenship and exemplary safety performance.
