Transform how you lead workplace safety with Leadership, Occupational Health and Safety, a one-day session built for supervisors, managers, and safety professionals who want safety to function in the field, not just on paper.

This course moves beyond administrative compliance and into the operational discipline that prevents harm: identifying critical controls, setting clear standards, and verifying that those controls are actually working under real conditions.

You will learn how “drift” takes hold when shortcuts become normal, why assumptions are not a safety strategy, and how to use direct observation and evidence to confirm that work is truly controlled.
We also cover the legal foundation leaders are accountable for, including due diligence and “reasonable in the circumstances” decision-making, and we connect it to practical leader behaviour that shapes reporting, trust, and follow-through.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Lead vs. manage safety by shifting from paperwork and rules to standards, control performance, and verification.

• Build verification habits using a “show me” approach that tests controls in real time, rather than relying on verbal reassurance.

• Apply legal responsibilities and demonstrate due diligence through clear decisions, visible action, and solid documentation.

• Intervene effectively using a Five-Step Model that corrects at-risk actions calmly, professionally, and without triggering defensiveness.

• Strengthen hazard identification and control selection using tools such as the Hierarchy of Controls and energy-based thinking.

• Improve incident response by separating worker actions from system failures, then implementing corrective actions that are measurable and verifiable.

• Shape safety culture through what you tolerate, what you reinforce, and what you consistently verify at the point of work.

By the end of the day, you will have a practical toolkit for turning safety information into better decisions, conducting defensible investigations, and creating a work environment where people report hazards early, leaders respond consistently, and accountability is clear.
