Introduction
In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we laid out the reasons for having a written Safety Improvement Strategy, why an early objective is likely to be to improve the organizational and safety culture, and how to approach the measurement aspect. In this section, we’ll finish with objectives and start on the next part: designing interventions.
Set the Right Objective
If you think we’re right about the crucial importance of safety leadership (Insight 3 in our book, 7 Insights into Safety Leadership), then you’ll want an objective to address it. Something simple like, “Improve and Sustain Safety Leadership Capability throughout the Organization.” It’s easy to say, not so easy to do.

5 年Great reading Tom, when you say “Interestingly, improved safety leaders become better leaders in general, but improved general leaders don’t necessarily become better safety leaders” you are smack on. This is only to often due to a lack of clear and concise behavioral safety metrics that holds the leader accountable. Thank you for sharing!!
