The Safety Leadership Program (SLP) builds the capability of operational managers to actively shape the safety of work across their teams. Grounded in contemporary safety thinking and practical leadership experience, it strengthens trust, risk ownership, and operational learning – equipping leaders to translate intent into everyday decisions that improve how work is done.
Built for leaders who own risk, not paperwork.
Designed to have impact. Built for real operations.
This program equips operational leaders to actively shape the safety of work, strengthening risk ownership, quality conversations and everyday decisions that improve how work is guided, enabled and executed.
