Leadership in Safety Programme
What leaders have to do differently when the schedule is under pressure
Built for senior managers and site leadership. The course addresses the decisions where production pressure and process safety genuinely conflict, the signals leaders send without intending to, and the practices that move an organisation toward a generative culture.
This course sits alongside our Process Safety Management Systems consulting work, so what is taught is what we do.
Who should attend
Course content
Every module is taught with worked examples and exercises drawn from real plant, and adapted to your own process where the course runs in house.
What leadership actually decides
- Resource, staffing and deferral decisions that change risk
- The signal sent when a deadline survives a safety concern
- Normalisation of deviance and how it starts with a reasonable decision
- Case studies where leadership decisions were causal
Seeing the real state
- Why bad news travels slowly upward and what to do about it
- Asking questions that produce information rather than reassurance
- Site visits, safety conversations and what they should test
- Reading process safety indicators rather than injury rates
Governance
- Board and executive level process safety oversight
- Assurance, audit and the independence that makes it useful
- Major accident risk in investment and acquisition decisions
- Accountability that reaches beyond the site
Practice
- Structured leadership commitments and following through visibly
- Personal case discussion on real decisions delegates face
- Building the practices into the management routine
What you receive
- A leadership commitment framework
- A safety conversation guide for senior visits
- A governance question set for board and executive review
- Attendance record and a personal action plan
What changes afterwards
- Leaders recognise the decisions that carry major accident risk
- The organisation gets more honest information upward
- Governance oversight tests process safety rather than personal injury
- Commitments are visible enough that the workforce believes them
