The safety performance of organisations is often seriously compromised by the attitudes and behaviour of managers.
Workplace injuries cost an estimated $50 billion per year in Australia alone. In 2014, 40% of workers had experienced at least one injury or illness as a result of their work, with more than half (52%) reporting that they had been injured by some form of equipment/machinery during the previous five years. And these figures do not include those who have suffered from mental health problems due to workplace stress or bullying.
Safety training for managers and supervisors has been shown to be effective in improving organisational safety performance, but it can be difficult to implement because most managers are reluctant to participate in such programs.
Our new training program called "Safety Masterclass" was designed specifically for managers and supervisors. This course uses a combination of classroom lectures and experiential exercises that help participants understand how they can improve their own leadership skills as well as the organisation's overall safety performance.
Take a Deep Dive into this Subject
This course forms the basis of general training in the principles of health and safety risk management. The aim of the training is to ensure that managers and supervisors have an awareness of general work health and safety issues in accordance with their legal duties and company health and safety policies.
