One common topic among safety professionals today is the increased liability placed on companies and Leadership when it comes to protecting the Health & Safety of employees. The question is, how do you know if your supervisors will make the right decisions when delegating tasks?
Safety programs are only as effective as the company allows for it to be. We have all heard the excuses from Corporate Leaders who say that they "were not involved in the decision-making" that contributed the undesirable event.
As a result of recent incidents that involved fatalities, corporate leaders have no choce but to invest in the Safety Leadership Development of their front-line leaders across the organization. It's the only way to create a culture where you foster clear communication and ultimate accountability. This includes Leading By Example.
"Any leader can accomplish short-term results. It takes a great leader to accomplish long-term results."
The wake-up call is here for corporate America.
SAFETY STEERING TEAMS
Traditional organizations drive safety from the top down, expecting their front-line leaders to set the example and hold people accountable. High-Performance organizations are realizing that this is not enough.
Creating a safety culture where everyone is involved in day-to-day safety decisions within the organization is paying big bonuses in terms of accident prevention, less severe accidents and employee buy-in.
