Lead to Inspire™ Safety Workshop

The actions and behavior of leaders and managers influence the safety culture of the whole organisation. It is therefore crucial for you as a leader to understand how your own behaviour — the things you say and do — influence the Health and Safety outputs you seek from employees.

Why Lead to Inspire™

Safety culture is a complicated idea that will change over time in many ways. There can be both positive and negative aspects that affect the safety culture of the organization and skew it in a specific way. Whether it is managed or not, the culture will change. But the most important questions to ask are: 'Is it a safe culture?' 'How can we be sure?' and 'How can we stop it from spreading?'

The traditional safety perspective is like driving by looking only in your rear-view mirror, managing by looking at where you have been, not at where you are going. For an organization to have a 'safe culture' it needs to decide what 'safe' means and let everyone in the organization understand what that means.

How the Workshop Works

SHIFT will set the standard for safety and assist organizations to go that step further and make sure that their leaders, managers, and employees know how to think about safety, risk, and about what their roles are. Additionally, SHIFT will assist leaders to act and make decisions based on what they know is right, not just do what they've always done.

By using the health and safety workshop to inspire the leaders of the organization to focus on improving their own safety culture and leading by example, the effect is an echo of improvement in safety culture and mindset towards safety throughout the organization. This improvement in safety culture will lead to less accidents, injuries, close calls, and health related issues in the workplace, leaving room for higher productivity levels, better employee morale, less direct and indirect cost to the company for employee injury compensation, and most importantly allowing employees to return home safely after a day's work.

Frequently asked questions

How does safety leadership training differ from general health and safety training?

General health and safety training builds knowledge of hazards, controls and safe working practices. Safety leadership training focuses on how leaders influence the decisions and behaviours that determine whether those practices are followed. It helps managers consider how they communicate expectations, respond to concerns, allocate resources and demonstrate accountability. SHIFT's Lead to Inspire workshop addresses leadership's role in developing a stronger safety culture. Explore the Lead to Inspire safety leadership workshop.
