Abstract

Safety leadership is a key to safety culture transformation and safety performance improvement in organizations. Managers have an essential role in implementing the safety policies and procedures of an organization. Thus, to be able to truly improve the safety performance of an organization the safety leadership behavior must be improved. The objective of this study is to construct a safety leadership training concept to develop safety leadership competencies of line managers. The requirements of the concept were built based on previous literature on safety culture, safety leadership, management of change and safety performance. Moreover, it utilized information on the good practices from previous extensive safety improvement projects in the target organization. The study focuses on managers that are responsible for the safety performance.
