Safety Leadership Team SLT

The process must be led by the senior executives, not the HR or training staff and especially not outside consultants. If you don t believe you or your team have the commitment nor passion to lead this process (conduct the culture change workshops, coach people on the new culture, visit lower level staff meetings for fireside chats, have your own culture change blogs on your intranet, and so on) then don t even start the process, (p. 5)

Forming the safety leadership team (SLT) and arranging an external safety and health audit are already steps toward structuring a safety system. Setting up the system also calls for the constitution and establishment of different-tiered safety committees. It also establishes a safety culture baseline based on the audit findings. The big question now is What is the next step in the implementation of a safety system, and how is it done The short reply is that it s like eating an elephant—one bite at a time. Bite one is getting the workplace in order.
