Safety Leadership II

FPM-40642

Safety culture can be summed up as the approach, acceptance, attention, awareness and attitude that an organization and its employees have regarding safety in the workplace. Safety culture is a part of the larger organizational culture, and can be summed up as “the way we do things around here.”

When workplace illnesses, injuries and deaths occur they can often be traced back to a breakdown in communicating, understanding and adhering to the safety policies and procedures – and/or the inadequacy of the policies and procedures themselves.

This course will help students identify, create and improve an organizational safety culture by focusing on areas such as:

  • Ensuring leadership commitment at all levels

     

  • Making workplace safety the top priority in all instances

     

     

  • Organization-wide safety communication

     

     

  • Discipline system for unsafe practices

     

     

  • Employee empowerment to suggest improvements in safety practices

     

     

  • Viewing safety as an investment and not a cost
