Leadership is the ability of a single individual, through their actions to motivate others to higher levels of achievement ~ author unknown
Your success or failure in Safety is determined by the Leadership you have
Are you a Leader? Do you have the Enthusiasm it takes to motivate others? How can you motivate employees to follow you? Well first you must develop an understanding of safety in order to develop a passion for the topic! Then you must have the knowledge and skills about the topic in order to convince others. How can you measure your success? How can you recognize and reward those who step up? How can you recognize and reward those who exceed your expectations?
Choose your safety team wisely. Team members need to be able to have a "passion for safety" in order to "motivate" all employees! Set high safety standards, and track safety leading indicators (safety inspections, attendance at training, safety activities). Motivate employees to bring the safety solutions!
