Overview

This course is designed for senior managers who need to develop and/or lead a culture of behavioural safety. It is aligned with your existing health and safety policy and any behavioural leadership programmes you may already have.  There is a need for a strong lead on safety from senior managers to drive a safety culture not just within the business but also with sub-contractors. As a result, the course focuses on coaching and leadership behaviours  to underpin a more strategic and political approach. We make use of actors to help embed the skills and behaviours that will underpin this culture.

Objectives

• For each manager to understand where their organisation is and where it is headed in terms of behavioural safety
• For each manager to identify their personal role and responsibilities in developing and/or leading a safety culture
• For the group as a whole to create a route map showing agreed group and individual actions and commitments to deliver the required outcomes
