81 – The Five Objectives for Teaching Leaders How To Be Safety Coaches
Posted in Safety Management, Performance Management, Leading Safety on Jun 14th, 2009 No Comments »
Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium and podcast number 81! Monthly we are asked to customize and lead workshops to teach supervisors how to be Safety Coaches, in countries throughout the world. For the podcast this week we would like to share and discuss in detail what we feel are the five main objectives for this important training, to teach leaders how to coach for performance, rather than strictly manage for compliance. The five (5) objectives we will cover are the following:
- Demonstrate dynamic leadership and support for safety at the management & supervisory level
- Take a proactive vs. reactive safety role
- Focus workers on effective accident-prevention strategies (precautions)
- Provide employees positive reinforcement for using these strategies
- Use coaching sessions to encourage precautions and address any risky behavior
I hope you enjoy the discussion!
Have a great week!
