Effective Safety Leadership
Every day, oil and gas workers, supervisors and managers have many opportunities to communicate and act in ways that demonstrate safety leadership. Unfortunately, these opportunities go unanswered because they are just not seen as real leadership opportunities.
We believe that a company's leadership is the most important asset it possesses. It's important that employers and managers understand that the simple expression of tough-caring safety leadership - having high safety standards because you care about the employee - can result in enormous benefits. The ability to perceive leadership opportunities improves the company's potential to succeed.
Tough-caring leaders also assume their workers, at all levels of the organization are good people trying to do the best they can with the skills they have.
Employees, on the other hand, do not always have the physical resources and psychosocial support needed to achieve the kind of results expected of them. Why is that? It is because they are not being provided with adequate physical resources (tools, equipment, machinery, materials, etc.) or the education, training, time, and consequences.
Effective leadership can overcome these challenges by providing the resources and training needed for their workers to excel.
