Workplace Leadership Safety: The Basics Training Course

I hear you’re in charge of safety for your team. Well, look, whether your official role is “Safety Director” or you’re simply a supervisor or lead employee – or even if you’re just looking to learn more about safety leadership to improve yourself and do your part, I’m here to take care of you. You don’t just work for a company – not in this role. As a safety leader, you work for your employees and coworkers… you work for your family and loved ones… and their families and loved ones.

By taking this training, you’re saying to me that you’re ready to enhance your safety leadership skills, do your part in fostering a safety-conscious workplace culture, learn to be proactive and prepared with hazard identification and mitigation, and that you’re dedicated to strengthening safety communication and engagement.

A lot of times, we focus on workplace safety from a management point of view. Here’s what I mean: When you “manage” a situation, you’re literally trying to keep things in check – in line, moving along smoothly, and in compliance with what in reality are minimum safety standards. Like, really - think about that: the standards and regulations we’re all so concerned about staying in compliance with are the basics… just enough to squeak by.

Safety leadership, though, is a different mindset: if you’re gonna be a safety leader, yes, you’ll be in compliance – strong compliance, in fact – but you’re also totally focused on ensuring employee health, safety, and overall wellness. Take it a step further, and the best safety leaders are Champions of safety – inspiring others to take safety and compliance to heart for all the right reasons.
