21 Improving Supervisory Leadership 1. Having a safety vision and being committed to safety. 2. Providing training to support supervisor safety leadership development. 3. Those with supervisory responsibilities lead by example, coach, and motivate their crew. Inattentive Reactive Compliant Proactive Exemplary 2. In my company Supervisors have no supervisory training and have little understanding or knowledge of regulatory requirements. After an incident occurs or some regulatory action is taken, there is talk among higher level management about the importance of supervisory leadership. Supervisors take OSHA 30-hour training and thus are familiar with OSHA regulations but they have little or no leadership training. Supervisors are trained not only on regulatory guidelines, but have a minimal level of leadership training. Supervisors are provided with and required to take leadership training that includes topics such as: how to communicate with and motivate team members; how to conduct pre-planning meetings; and how to inspire crew members to also be safety leaders.
