Introduction
Gain the self-confidence, knowledge and skills you need to recognize and assess your role in leading the implementation of an effective safety management system. This workshop is designed to provide leaders with a deeper understanding of their role in determining safety outcomes. A Safety Leadership model is introduced that centers on changing the organization’s safety culture.
