5 May 2010
Speaker: Shawn M. Galloway
Topic: Teaching Supervisors to be Safety Coaches
Supervisors influence worker behaviour perhaps more than any level in an organization. Most supervisors have not received formal training to coach, much less to coach safety. This session will discuss the unique position of supervisors, how they are promoted or hired, and how this position is both influential and often lacking in the basic training necessary to be effective. There will also be a discussion about when supervisor safety coaching training should be delivered to fit with other safety efforts. The content and sequence of the training will be reviewed along with a discussion of who can best deliver the training within the organization to ensure best results. Other content will include the follow-up necessary to make sure the training transitions into real practice and methods to continuously improve the training delivery. The conclusion is a challenge and a formula to assess the potential impact of such training in your own organization.

Speaker: Shawn M. Galloway
Topic: Teaching Supervisors to Become Safety Coaches
Supervisors influence worker behavior perhaps more than any other level in an organization. Yet most supervisors have not received formal training on coaching and effective performance feedback skills. Providing such training has proven to be a very effective measure to reduce incidents in many organizations. For safety values to become established in an organization, they must be reinforced by leaders at, or near the point of decision. Supervisors are in a unique position to facilitate the creation of a culture that focuses on safety excellence. Discover steps to take supervisors from cops to coaches, identify how to transfer these strategies throughout the workplace; ensuring more effective safety supervision methodologies.

Topic: Managing Perceptions: A New Approach to Safety Communication
Many organizations measure perceptions, but few effectively manage them. There are two types of perceptions, accurate and inaccurate. Which ones are you responding to? Perceptions are influenced by multiple sources both internal and external. Unmanaged perceptions negatively affect safety communication. Even worse they have been identified as contributing factors in multiple catastrophic incidents. Join Shawn Galloway, one of the world’s leading safety culture practitioners and host of Safety Culture Excellence, in a discussion on successfully proven techniques. The session focuses on how to measure, understand and manage the perceptions that either facilitate or impede achieving and sustaining safety excellence.
