Safety Leadership Excellence Workshop Description

Safety is a leadership problem. You’ve probably heard that before but aren’t sure how to solve it. That’s where I can help!

This in-person workshop, which can be scheduled and held at your site, will provide instruction to your management and supervision team in key aspects of safety leadership. We will discuss and complete activities that will reinforce the necessary skills for ‘people leaders’ to improve the safety performance of their teams and deliver results! Class sizes are kept purposely small at less than 20 people to maximize the learning impact through active participation. The class can be scheduled on a normal workday or even an off-shift if that works better for your team.

Each participant will complete a follow-up ‘Change Commitment Contract’ to ensure this is not your typical check-the-box workshop. This ‘contract’ will require them to practice key learnings and reinforce behavior changes, which will generate measurable performance results! I will meet with each participant the day following the workshop to review their Change Commitment Contract to ensure that the individuals are truly committed to specific and measurable actions.

Topics to be covered in depth include:

  • why safety is a leadership problem

  • the necessary aspects of leadership to build a successful and injury-free team

  • key behavioral traits and traps for the leader

  • key communication skills and pitfalls

  • coaching and developing YOUR team

These topics are taught based on current theory and research and then are reinforced with real-life experience and examples. Participants will partake in activities during the workshop to reinforce key points and ensure they understand that the tools presented have practical applications and that the experience is memorable! We start with broad topics and then get very specific with the skills needed to succeed and deliver results as a safety leader.

Jeff Lasselle

Seeing an employee on your team seriously injured and in massive pain really sucks! As their leader, you feel personally responsible and are searching for answers.

I’ve been there! I’ve seen employees suffer life-altering injuries and I’ve personally fixed this issue at multiple operational sites because I wanted all of my team members to leave work healthy. As a result of my experience, and building off of the experiences of many other operational leaders, I built this program to help you keep your colleagues safe.

An accomplished operations executive, I have over twenty-five years of experience coaching, mentoring, and leading at the Department, Site, and Regional levels. Safety leadership has always been a strong passion and I’ve been recognized for my leadership in this area.

2021 People Leadership Award at Merck KGaA for steady navigation as the Operations Vice President of the 1500-employee Aldrich Chemical subsidiary throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

2015 Global Safety Award for leading the international deployment of leadership training at Sigma Aldrich for 1200 people-leaders.  The program was widely recognized for favorably impacting safety culture across all regions, reducing injuries, and boosting operational results.
