Coaching and Mentoring for Safety Professionals
Coaching and mentoring are processes that enable individuals to develop over time. They are useful when:
- Personnel return from a developmental experience or instead of attending off-the-job development;
- Creating and consolidating change;
- Following up when someone hasn’t done what you’ve asked;
- Working with a colleague who may be at odds with your approach;
- Handling conflict between colleagues or between yourself and someone else.
As Safety Professionals usually do not have direct line authority when creating create change and requiring compliance, influencing techniques must be used. Coaching and mentoring are two of these influencing techniques to use to help achieve the integration of safety through organisations.
This 2 – day interactive, informative and engaging Coaching and Mentoring for Safety Professionals, facilitated by Safety X, aims to equip participants with the knowledge, skills and tools needed to coach and mentor effectively.
It has been designed and developed in consultation with Safety Professionals who have extensive operational safety backgrounds.

Building Organisational Influence
Influencing Skills for Safety Professionals
Introduction
Many organisational decisions, as well as manager and employee behaviour, impact on the Health, Safety and Wellbeing of personnel who work in our organisations. Much of the time, they are unaware of the Health, Safety or Wellbeing impact. It is the role of the Safety Professional to influence Managers and Employees so they:
- Are aware of the impact their decisions and behaviour has on people in our organisations
- Do consider Health, Safety and Wellbeing in their decisions
- Do change behaviour to achieve a positive impact on personnel within our organisations.
This challenging workshop is designed to;
- Expand your thinking of the extent of your “Circle of influence” to take a holistic view of safety in your organisation
- Develop your influencing competency
- Develop influencing strategies to use in response to key reasons why people behave the way they do. e.g in change and conflict.

Introduction
Safety Professionals and Safety Practitioners are change agents. You create change at all levels of the organisation. At an individual level, you work with personnel to change the way they work. At a business level you change the way the business unit operates and at an organisational level you change the way the organisation carries out its business. In addition, you need to be aware of and be able and willing to discuss the impact on safety of operations through changes initiated in other parts of the business.
This workshop is provided in association with Safety X.
By attending this workshop, Safety Professionals and Safety Practitioners should improve their understanding of and effectiveness in leading change. Specifically, you should be able to:
- Describe your safety leadership role as a Change Agent;
- Describe the characteristics of successful and unsuccessful change initiatives;
- Apply several commonly used organisational change approaches to your change initiatives;
- Explain the integrated, systems nature, of organisations and how change in one system impacts on other systems;
- Describe why employees resist change and how this is normal human behaviour;
- Design, implement and review change initiatives;
- Use a variety of tools and techniques such as consultation and key stakeholder analysis, that help facilitate individual and organisational change;
- Apply your personal skills to influence change and have reviewed a change initiative against workshop learning.

Strategic Safety Leadership for Executives and Directors
Purpose
Giving safety equal weight with other business priorities is a basic strategy for safety and organisational excellence. In our experience, the integration of safety into general business operations, along with the leadership executives and boards significantly determines the success of the safety commitment.
Evidence from past safety and environmental disasters suggest too that decisions taken at senior levels in the organisation have an impact on strategic safety performance.
There are many examples of situations where the board and senior leadership espouse the vision and values, only to find that they are not being practised within the organisation. Examples of misalignment of vision and values include Enron, and, more recently in Australia several large financial institutions have found practices within the business that are not consistent with their publicly stated corporate values.
Safety Culture Development works with Boards and Executive Leadership to ensure alignment of the board’s expectations with the business safety culture and culture more broadly.
This workshop is designed to help executive leadership and board members.
This workshop can be modularised and can also be run internally.
