In a recent issue of EHS magazine online, there was an article that outlined a presentation by Jim Spigener at the 2014 Safety Leadership conference.  The article begins by outlining the three universal truths that Spigener has found during his research.

1. Culture is the ultimate predictor of safety performance.
2. Senior leaders make or break the culture of the company.
3. “Very few leaders are born great leaders. They make themselves great leaders.”

Spigener has done extensive research about safety and the most telling aspect that impacted safety was the culture of the organization.  At the end of the day the leaders create the biggest impact.  His model for the impact is below.

• If a leader behaves differently, it affects the climate.
• The climate affects follower behavior.
• Follower behavior affects follower beliefs.
• Follower beliefs create the culture.

Behavior-based safety with the leader taking charge and impacting the safety climate is becoming more and more critical as roles, responsibilities, and expectations of organizations, management, government regulators and the public shift.
