Leading Safety Excellence Webinar ProAct Safety

30 Minute Video on Leadership Safety Coaching
"When the leaders don't lead, the followers don't follow." This is especially true in safety. Leaders constantly communicate priorities and strategies to their workers, whether they intend to or not. With training, leaders can take active control of the messages they send to promote safety as an organizational value. They can set levels of expectation that point everyone in the direction of safety excellence and exert a positive influence on the formation of safety culture.
Safety Cop or Coach?
Most managers and supervisors don't have the latest training and tools for safety performance, rather than policing for safety results. . This lack of training often results in trying to police the workforce rather than coaching, which impacts performance in the absence of the leader. Policing safety has proven to be a less-than-perfect method of improving accident and severity rates and often promotes underreporting. Becoming an effective coach can leverage a manager's or supervisor's influence to make significant gains in accident reductions. Coaching skills also improve other areas of performance including quality and productivity as well as safety. The benefits to the organization impact almost every area of human performance.
Training Leaders to be Safety Coaches
The training contains the latest behavioral coaching techniques and directly applies them to improving safety. A model for counseling problem employees or addressing serious safety situations is also included. The design of the training utilizes advanced learning techniques and helps attendees to apply the models in the classroom to reality-based scenarios right out of the workplace. It is important that this training be customized to fit your culture, existing leadership styles and work environment for relevancy and rapid results.
Results
Organizations that have implemented Leadership Safety Coaching have experienced accident reduction up to 55% the first year. Some organizations have used this training to prepare for employee-involvement safety strategies such as Behavior-Based Safety or OSHA's VPP and others have used it after such initiatives. Whatever your current status, providing these skills to your leaders can have a significant impact on the overall safety culture within your organization.
