Why is this course important?
This course will support leaders to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours to become better
Health and Safety communicators. They will learn how to develop their teams and create a positive Health and
Safety environment. The best Health and Safety plans and systems can fail due to poor or non-existent communication, either a total lack of it, or miscommunication. Effective communication needs to be given just as much time and attention as the actual plan itself. Lack of communication can impede a good Health and
Safety culture being created in your workplace. It can also create a dangerous, non-compliant and disengaged
approach to Health and Safety.
WHY COMMUNICATION IS VITAL
Effective communication is crucial to achieving an injury-free workplace. Most injuries can be attributed
to people not following procedure and not communicating health and safety concerns.
Employees are often reluctant to provide feedback to leaders or to bring up concerns with
colleagues.
- Do your employees have a clear and consistent understanding of what is expected from a Health and Safety perspective?
- Are your employees not listening to the Health and Safety messages and it is hard to get their buy in?
- Are your employees taking Health and Safety seriously or are they avoiding their responsibilities?
- Is there a resistance to change that is hindering the development of a great safety culture?
