The ChallengeOrganizational leaders must be equipped to effectively deal with the relentless demands of daily decisions, challenges, and opportunities that impact all aspects of business including safety. Making intelligent decisions for safety, from a both behavioral and systems perspective, is increasingly important to advance safety culture and prevent serious injuries and fatalities.

CompetenciesSafety leadership competencies represent the observable and measurable knowledge, skills, abilities and personal attributes that contribute to increased discretionary effort and improved organizational safety culture. Anchored in years of research and science, our team has identified five core competencies to optimize safety culture:

Actively Care, Walk the Talk, Build/Live the Vision; Recognize Often/Foster Growth, and Drive Thinking and Speaking. Leaders who master these skills more effectively spearhead safety improvement efforts and achieve more safety success. Guidance for building these factors is provided below. This includes a brief explanation of each competency along with empirical support and real-world examples.

Actively CareLeaders exhibit Active Caring by showing personal concern and respect for employees, being open and receptive with others, and by practicing empathy, compassion, and humility. Developing Active Caring habits and practices improves safety culture.

Page 5: Edison Safety | ContractorSafety@sce.com Leader Safety ......Edison Safety | ContractorSafety@sce.com SCE Health & Safety Handbook for Contractors – Section 2.4.5 All Safety Tier

Evidence supporting active caring from empirical research:

• When employees feel genuinely caredfor by their management, this isassociated with less risk-takingbehaviors and less physical healthcomplaints (Størseth, 2004, 2006).

• Leader’s receptiveness to safetyinformation is related to subordinates’willingness to raise safety issues(Mullen, 2005).

• Supportive leadership positivelyimpacts safety compliance and safetyparticipation (e.g., Barling et al., 2002;Hofmann & Morgeson, 1999; Kellowayet al.,2006)

• Passive leaders send the messagethat safety is not important, leading tonegative safety behavior andincreased injury rates (e.g., Zohar,2002)

Examples from the field:

• A new plant manager inherited anunhealthy culture with significantdistrust between managers andemployees. One of his first acts asplant manager was to set up 30-minute meetings with every employeein the facility to discuss issues on theirmind (safety or otherwise). He calledthe meetings “30 minutes with Bob”and promoted these meetings inperson, during meetings, via emailand through other communicationchannels. When Propulo arrived onsite to conduct safety training, anumber of employees told us howmuch they liked the meetings andappreciated his effort. Employeesreferenced the meetings as anindication the new leader cared abouthis employees. This simple movesparked a change in the hearts and

minds of the employees and demonstrated legitimate Active Caring.

• A director in Aerospace regularly heldconversations on the shop floor withfield level employees. She wouldprovide lunch in their typical eatingarea with 5-8 employees at a time.She started the conversation withwhat was going on in their lives (theirfamily, activities, travel plans, etc.) andthen would ask about their job. Theconversation was solely focused onthem, she never brought up work oractivities in these lunches unless theyasked. She always rememberedemployee names and would say hi toeach individual by name when walkingthrough the plant, and if time allowed– she would have a short conversationasking about something in their life.The employees felt valued, becauseshe showed she actually cared. Thiscreated incredibly strong morale andwhenever a change was needed in theworkplace, they were supportive of herdirection.

Walk the TalkLeaders Walk the Talk for safety by role modeling positive safety behaviors, spending time out in the field with employees, providing respectful safety coaching, and demonstrating integrity and commitment to safety. Leaders who effectively “walk the talk” create improved safety culture, morale, and trust with employees.

Evidence supporting walking the talk from empirical research:

• Safety-specific behavioral integrity(which is when employees perceivealignment between their leaders’expectations and actions) issignificantly related to:

o Safety compliance (Halbeslebenet al., 2013)

o Improved injury numbers (e.g.,frequency, severity, andreporting; Halbesleben et al.,2013)

o Degree to which employeesprioritize avoiding incidents(Leroy et al., 2012)

o Team psychological safety,which is linked to more openreporting (Leroy et al., 2012)

• Perceptions of leaders’ commitmentto safety is associated with lowerinjuries (Christian et al., 2011 andBeus et al., 2010).

• Trust promotes psychological safetyfor incident reporting (Clark & Payne,2006; Conchie, Taylor, & Donald,2012) and is associated with moreinstances of safety citizenshipbehavior among employees (Conchie& Donald, 2009).

Examples from the field:

• A plant manager of a mine site findstime in his schedule to attend allmorning pre-shift meetings for whichattendance is required by workersbut not necessarily for himself. Hevalues pre-shift meetings, and inorder to practice what he preaches,he makes an attempt to show up. Hisgoal is to visibly demonstrate supportand highlight the importance of thesemeetings as an effort to walk the talk.

• Managers and supervisors at a steelmill were concerned aboutcompliance problems with lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures.Rather than immediately threateningemployees to comply, managerswent around and spoke with hourly

employees running the equipment. They found out the LOTO procedures were overly complicated and the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for LOTO were written for engineers, not hourly employees. To solve this problem, they brought in engineers, safety professionals, supervisors, and hourly employees to collectively streamline the LOTO process and revise the SOPs with user-friendly language. Overnight, the LOTO issue became a non-issue. Getting employee input with rules and other important topics leads to better decision making and improved morale. Leaders demonstrated “walking the talk” in this case by being visible, soliciting employee feedback, listening to concerns and recommendations, and following through on action item improvements.

• By contrast, leaders underminesafety efforts when they don’t walkthe talk. In one company, the safetydepartment fought for months to getemployees to accept stricterrequirements with personal protectiveequipment (PPE) such as safetyglasses, shoes, and hearingprotecting. Unfortunately, their effortswere undermined by a televisioninterview in which the company CEOanswered a reporter’s questions(about company profits) on the shopfloor, during operations, without anyPPE. Many employees saw theinterview on the news and decidedthey too no longer needed to usetheir PPE.

Build and Live the VisionLeaders Build and Live the Vision by clearly defining the vision for desired

safety performance, living these values themselves, demonstrating the vision in daily interactions, and sharing the vision in a compelling way. Effective leaders should build and live the vision on a day-to-day basis.

Evidence supporting building/living the vision from empirical research:

• When leaders encourage employeesto strive for something beyond theirindividual goals, this has a positiveimpact on safety climate, safetycompliance, and safety participation(Hoffmeister et al., 2013).

• When employees are providedmeaning and value for committing tosafety, this increases interest in safetyactivities, which makes them morelikely to participate in extra-role safetybehaviors (Griffin & Hu, 2013).

• When employees identify with thecompany they work for, they engage inmore safety performance behaviorsthan those who fail to do so (Ford &Tetrick, 2011).

Examples from the field:

• Leaders from a company in Californiadeveloped and instituted wellnessprograms to promote their vision ofSafety 24/7 (both on and off the job).This included conducting regularsafety fairs where employees go withtheir families to eat healthy food,receive back and foot massages, andget various health checks completed(e.g., blood pressure tests, cholesterolchecks). They also built a state-of-the-art gymnasium as well as beganpiping in music every couple of hoursat workstations so employees canstop what they’re doing and engage inlight stretching for two to three

minutes to combat fatigue and repetitive motion injuries. Not surprisingly, these leaders have encouraged high employee involvement for safety. This wellness program resulted in tangible benefits of company leaders building and living the vision.

• Rather than safety being consideredas a stand-alone effort, Leaders at anenergy company integrated the safetyvision across all company operations.One effort was to change the wordingaround all production graphs. Theyreplaced “watts produced” with “safewatts produced” for all internal andexternal communications aboutproductivity. This small change hadthe larger symbolic value of companyleaders internalizing and illustratingthe importance of safety.

• In one very powerful safetypresentation, a manager showed aslide of a young man with his wife andtwo kids. The manager gave detailsabout the man including job position,education, and hobbies. He then toldthe audience that the young man waskilled the previous week in anexplosion. No graphs or statistics wereneeded to discuss the importance ofsafety. Managers are well served toremember that safety statistics shouldbe used in conjunction withtestimonials and genuine discussionsabout employees’ safety. Story tellinghas more power than safety numbers,bringing safety alive and making itpersonal.

Recognize and Foster GrowthLeaders should Recognize and Foster Growth by showing genuine appreciation for employees, investing in team growth,

and providing more recognition for desired safety behaviors. Leaders who regularly recognize employees and facilitate growth increase discretionary effort and improve organizational safety culture.

Evidence supporting recognition/growth from the research:

• Interventions aimed to increasequality and quantity of safety-relatedfeedback led to improvements insafety outcomes and safety climateperceptions (Zohar, 2002; Kines etal., 2010).

• Leaders who provide rewards forspecific safety-related behaviors (i.e.,through recognition, promotion,increased compensation or jobsecurity) encourage employees tocontinue those safe behaviors(Fogas et al., 2011) and positivelyimpact safety climate (Hoffmeister etal., 2013).

• In an intervention study by Austin,Kessler, Riccobono, and Bailey(1996), researchers found thatmonetary rewards were notnecessary; rewarding employeeswith break times improved safetycompliance. Similar effects werefound in a study by Zohar and Lura(2003), who found that providing non-monetary recognition in the form offeedback improved both observer-rated safety behaviors and self-ratedsafety climate.

• Employees who report feeling valuedby their employer are 93% morelikely to report they are motivated todo their very best for their employer(vs. only 33% from those who do notfeel valued; APA Psychologically

Healthy Workplace Program, 2012).

Examples from the field:

• Leaders within a company that builtbearings for cars took money theyhad budgeted to purchase safetysigns and gave it to employeesthrough a poster design contest.Specifically, the site shut down alloperations for two hours and broughtin all employees to create their ownsafety posters. Prizes were given outfor first ($100), second ($50) andthird place ($25) as voted on byemployees. Employees were givenflip chart pages and markers/crayonsto design their posters and wereallowed to make as many posters asthey wanted for the contest. In theend, the winning employee was amaintenance worker who drewForrest Gump running down the roadwearing safety glasses (and otherPPE) under the caption, “Safety ISas Safety DOES.” Completed posterswere hung around the facility andwere highly effective in gettingemployees’ attention. Although themonetary amounts were small,recognition goes a long way. Theattention provided for employees’creativity and safety efforts wasgreatly appreciated.

• Leaders in another organizationdeveloped safety champion stickersfor employees. When leaders orfellow employees observedespecially safe actions, they providedthe employee a sticker which theyput on their hard hats. This wasdesigned to replicate the collegefootball practice of putting team logostickers on helmets followingexceptional plays. A number ofemployees really appreciated these

stickers and some had their hard hats full of stickers as a show of their own commitment to safety.

• Traditional “incentives” implementedby leadership for safety can beproblematic. In one company, awoman slipped on the ice outside ofher building in front of a group ofcoworkers and was injured. Inaddition to her embarrassment andinjury, some of her coworkers wereangry with her for “screwing up” theirincentive (they lost their $75 gift card)which they normally received eachmonth as long as no one got hurt.The primary recognition for safetyshould be genuine verbalappreciation. Small thank yourewards for proactive safety effortscan also be appreciated. However,traditional, outcome based“incentives” should be eliminated.

Drive Thinking and SpeakingLeaders Drive Thinking and Speaking by creating an environment of psychological safety, getting employee input for safety solutions, encouraging system thinking, and reinforcing teamwork and collaboration. Leaders who effectively create this environment increase employee engagement and decrease the likelihood of serious injuries and fatalities.

Evidence supporting driving thinking/speaking from empirical research:

• When leaders inspire employees tothink creatively and innovatively, thishas a positive impact on safetyclimate, safety compliance, andsafety participation (Hoffmeister etal., 2013).

• When employees perceive highquality relationships with theirleaders, this leads to fewer safety-related incidents and injuries(Hofmann & Morgeson, 1999).

• Involving all employees in anenvironment where there are opendiscussions about safety issues andsafety decisions (e.g., dangerousscenario reporting system,pre-operation checklist cards,e-learning forums) leads to significantimprovements in safety performance(Hale, Guldenmund, van Loenhout, &Oh, 2010).

• About half (55%) of a company'sability to learn from failures can beexplained by whether or notemployees feel psychologically safe(Carmeli & Gittell, 2008).

• Almost 10% of the variance inemployee safety behaviors can beaccounted for by the degree to whichemployees feel comfortablediscussing safety issues at work(Cigularov, Chen, & Rosecrance,2010).

Examples from the field:

• Effective mentoring between highlyexperienced and inexperiencedemployees is important to drive openthinking and speaking. This isespecially true when companies havea large number of retiring employeeswho may or may not convey theirdetailed, craft knowledge to newemployees. To formalize mentoring,an energy company implemented a“buddy for a week” system.Essentially, experienced employees(with high job knowledge and goodattitudes for safety) spent one week

• with newer employees workingtogether, eating together, and so on.This process improved rapportbetween newer and older employeesand provided a great way forexperienced employees to pass onspecific craft knowledge in a direct,hands-on way. This also opened upnew lines of communication andcollaboration.

• Organizations should have aneffective close call reporting programto drive thinking and speaking,promote a learning culture, andprevent future incidents. As anexample, an employee at a local softdrink bottling company reported that alarge stack of empty pallets nearly fellon him as he walked through thewarehouse. The safety directorassessed the situation and determinedthat all empty pallets needed to bestored in a covered outdoor area andset limits on how high pallets could bestacked. By filling out a near missform, this employee helped ensurethat he and other employees wouldn’tbe injured by falling pallets in thefuture. By encouraging near missreporting and creating an environmentwhere employees feel safe to speakup, the leader was able to drivelearning from failures.

ConclusionThese five core safety leadership competencies should be understood and put into daily practice to improve safe production culture. Injury numbers drop and culture improves when leaders’ attitudes and behaviors are directed to increasing active care, walking the talk, living the vision, providing recognition/growth and driving more thinking/speaking.
