IOSH Approved Coaching for safety

What’s it all about?

Getting line managers and supervisors to own health and safety is something that occupies the thoughts of many OSH professionals.

Many realise that it doesn’t happen by itself or just because it’s stated in a policy document or job description. Achieving ‘ownership’ and buy-in is something that needs to be negotiated, not as an all-encompassing concept but continually, issue by issue, and day by day as issues arise.

Often, it’s the OSH practitioner who, being the person on the ground, is best placed to facilitate this negotiation. The holy grail is a win-win solution, where the practitioner walks away confident that legal and other standards are being met, and the manager/supervisor is bought into the solution because it’s operationally sound in a way they can own and manage going forward.

Wholly in keeping with the Behavioural Competencies outlined in the IOSH Competency Framework, IOSH Approved Coaching for safety will equip you for facilitating these vitally important negotiations.
