Safety Leadership Training

Leadership Practices For A Sustainable Safety Culture

The knowledge and skills leaders need for positive, proactive safety management.

Creating a safe workplace begins with good leadership and with leaders who employ practices that are based on scientifically sound principles. With a scientific understanding of behavior, leaders can effectively use positive reinforcement to generate higher rates of safe behavior and create the engagement and trust necessary to sustain a truly safe work environment. 

ADI’s 2-day Safety Leadership Training is founded on the science of behavior and is designed for anyone responsible for the safety of others. This working session provides leaders with tips and tools for developing coaching skills that build engagement and improve performance, a process for building positive accountability, and a method for productive problem solving. Participants of this 2-day working session will come to understand how to improve their own safety leadership behaviors and how to develop and sustain critical safe behaviors in others.
