Course Overview

A procedure for leadership safety walks that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Where this strand of occupational health and safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the wider occupational health and safety agenda and under-invest in testing it. Applied research in occupational health and safety consistently shows that early structure around leadership safety walks reduces downstream rework. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the occupational health and safety capability in an order their organisation can absorb. The programme suits teams tackling this area of occupational health and safety together as readily as individuals attending alone. It concentrates on the parts of leadership safety walks that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the occupational health and safety discipline is examined, not just described. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of occupational health and safety sustainable.
