Developing and Sustaining an Effective Safety Culture

Embed safety as a living value—empower your people, strengthen your organisation.
This immersive 5-day programme equips leaders, managers, and safety professionals with the frameworks, tools, and interpersonal skills to create a resilient safety culture. Through interactive workshops, behavioural audits, case studies, and hands-on simulations, delegates learn to diagnose cultural issues, drive positive change, and sustain a safety mindset across their organisation.

❗ Why this course is important

• Safety is foundational: A mature safety culture turns policies into everyday practice, reducing incidents and protecting reputation.

• Human factors matter: Understanding workforce psychology—from Maslow to Herzberg—helps identify safety barriers and motivation triggers.

• Culture evolves over time: This course empowers delegates to measure safety maturity and lead transformational change through structured interventions, KPIs, and continuous learning.
