Background
How leaders behave in a workplace has a tremendous impact on the safety performance of the company, the well-being of colleagues and the health & well-being of the individual and their families. It is estimated that there are around 1 million unsafe behaviours every year associated with construction activities in Jersey. Reducing at-risk behaviours will reduce the number of near misses, minor injuries, lost workday cases and fatalities. This can be achieved by taking a company’s health and safety management system (with its procedures and processes) and using it in a culture that supports safe behaviours and challenges unsafe acts.
The Behavioural Safety Leadership programme has been developed by the Jersey Safety Council in co-operation with seven leading construction companies in Jersey. The objectives of the programme are endorsed by the Health & Safety Inspectorate.
