Programme structure

How the programme is delivered

A structured learning journey from needs analysis through competency verification and follow-up coaching.

Safety Leadership Competency Model

Define safety leadership competency per HSE HSG 65 / IAEA Safety Culture / DuPont Bradley Curve — visible commitment, walking the talk, two-way communication, learning from incidents, just culture, employee engagement; align with CCPS RBPS Culture.

Leadership Self-Assessment

Conduct 360-degree leadership self-assessment with peer / direct-report / leader feedback; identify strengths and development areas per safety leadership behaviour; align with corporate leadership development and succession planning.

Workshop & Coaching Programme

Deliver workshop programme — Safety Leadership Foundations (1-day), Advanced (2-day), Executive (residential 3-day); specify executive coaching (typically 6-12 sessions); align with corporate executive development.

Field Engagement Practice

Practice field engagement — safety walks (Gemba), one-on-one conversations, near-miss inquiry, incident investigation participation; specify minimum field engagement hours per leadership level (typical 4-8 hours/month for senior leaders).

Just Culture Application Training

Train just culture per James Reason / Sidney Dekker — distinguish error / at-risk / reckless behaviour, apply substitution test, design just response (coaching / counselling / discipline); align with corporate HR and just culture policy.

Programme Effectiveness & Culture KPI

Measure programme effectiveness — leadership engagement hours, employee perception survey (Hudson maturity level), near-miss reporting rate, leading-indicator improvement; align with corporate ESG / HSE reporting.
