Safety Leadership
One of the key predictors of an organisations safety culture is perceived
management value of safety, often expressed by the behaviour of managers within
the organisation. It is the leadership behaviour therefore of managers that
often can be key to influencing risk taking occurring within organisations.
What is Safety Leadership?
Leadership is more than just management, and refers to not to just what, but
how a person influences and motivates others. For example if a manger walks
by an employee not wearing the correct PPE for the job, because they do not
notice it is not being worn, the employee can be left with impression that
managers do not mind if safety rules are not followed. It is these subtle
things or soft signals that can play a major role in safety across the board.
Why do people find it hard to lead on safety?
Quite often people are promoted to management roles were leadership skills
are required based solely on technical ability alone. As a result managers
can often be task orientated and can often fail to communicate the importance
of safety due to daily work pressures. The challenge here is to provide people
in leadership roles with the skills to understand how they can misrepresent
and under estimate risks and hazards, how and what influences people in their
charge to take risk and how effective manage people and influence their behaviour.
