Safety Begins With Leadership
The most important element in any safety program is leadership. The Alberta Municipal Health and Safety Association’s course in Leadership for Safety Excellence can help management at any level of an organization adapt their vision and safety culture to improve a company鈥檚 performance.
Leadership is about more than simple workplace procedure. In order to create a safety culture through leadership, employers must be able to demonstrate credibility and instill integrity in employees. By becoming accountable for safety performance and organizational goals, they build transformational leadership tactics and boost employee loyalty and morale. Having confidence in a leader translates into better feedback and understanding amongst employees as to why things are done the way they鈥檙e done.
Employers are required by OHS regulations to provide workers with a safe and secure workplace. Successful managers know that balancing quality and safety is the key to success on any project. Good safety systems increase production, decrease costs, and ensure the health and safety of workers. 鈥檚 course in Leadership for Safety Excellence teaches managers how to maintain and promote that balance throughout their organization鈥檚 internal policies.
