Key points
No organization achieves lasting success without a strong culture of safety. But cultivating that culture can be a challenge—especially when the gap between the executive level and the front line looms wide. Who is best positioned to bridge that gap? The supervisors and managers with boots on the ground. Well-developed middle managers achieve substantial safety benefits, including decreases in TRIRs and SIFs, fewer missed workdays, and significant improvement in the employee experience. And when those supervisors forge a strong connection between the executive vision for safety and front-line practice, the goal of optimal organizational functioning transforms into a sustainable reality.
Safe Align® Safety Leadership Development System
A unified safety culture isn’t built in a silo. That’s why DEKRA created the Safe Align® Safety Leadership system, a holistic and sustainable system offering practical guidance for leading front-line safety performance. Designed to reduce workplace injuries by building a culture of responsibility and aligning middle management skills with senior leadership, DEKRA’s customized approach trains supervisors and managers to:
- recognize safety exposures
- engage front-line employees in safety conversations
- master critical safety activities and key leadership activities
Making Safety Governance Work
Operating without a distinct safety governance structure slows decision making, reduces accountability, and—worst of all—endangers employees. But if creating a safety governance structure from scratch, or restructuring existing governance, feels like an overwhelming prospect, start here: DEKRA’s Making Safety Governance Work. This white paper explores safety governance and the high value it provides, a critical first step on the journey to achieving desired safety performance.
Safety in the Balance: How Leaders Influence Desired Safety Outcomes
Anxiety, stress, fatigue, and distraction can all be caused by—and result in—unsafe conditions, increasing employees’ risk for incident or injury. Good leaders alleviate those risks by leading with safety while completing the work at hand. On April 28, join DEKRA’s Neil Schnaak and Luis Sanchez for a free webinar discussing effective team coaching and the critical connection between leading with safety and building key relationships.
35th Annual Safety in Action® Conference
The countdown is on! On May 9, the 2022 Safety in Action® Conference opens its doors to executives, safety professionals, facilitators, team members, and union leaders from around the world. Recognized for more than 30 years as the premiere event for safety professionals, the conference presents a can’t-miss opportunity to network with peers and to learn best practices and cutting-edge solutions. Attendance this year is limited to only 500 attendees—and spots are filling fast.
