There are a lot quixotic efforts out there to find the one key to making the workplace safety. This search for the safety equivalent of the city of Cibola has led to a lot of flakey methodologies and given rise to the age of zealots in the safety function\u2014people so unwilling to even consider a hint at a new idea that they not only are unable to learn, but who also sour the rest of the organization on sound safety practices.<\/p>\n

Much as it would make our lives easier there is no panacea for safety, no golden key that will unlock all the mysteries surrounding injuries, no magic bullet. But insomuch as there is no one thing that we can do that will solve all our problems in worker safety, there is one element of safety that stands above the rest: leadership.<\/p>\n

don\u2019t talk much about leadership in the context of safety. Frankly, the reason I don\u2019t explore the role of the leader in worker safety that often is because it invites a cacophony of whining from the safety practitioners who endlessly bleat about how they suffer in vain because leaders don\u2019t listen to them. I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again: Leaders don\u2019t listen to whiney; \u201cthe sky is falling\u201d prattling. They want evidence, cost estimates, and return on investment (not effort, changing the name to \u201creturn on effort\u201d is a recipe for disaster).<\/p>\n
