CORESafety Module 1:  Leadership and Leadership Development

CORESafety’s Module 1 emphasizes the vital role of leadership in fostering workplace safety and health.

It ensures leaders understand their responsibilities, develop their potential and create a culture of continuous safety improvement.

A core principle of this module is securing a commitment from company leadership through visible actions, such as signing and posting the CORESafety Pledge.

Key Features of Module 1:

• Corporate Commitment: A signed mission statement from leadership reinforces the organization’s dedication to safety and health.
• Identifying Leaders: Focus on recognizing individuals—salaried or non-salaried—who can influence safety performance and culture in a positive way.
• Leadership Development: Training programs and succession planning can help mining leaders to:
  • Encourage accountability.
  • Promote collaboration and action.
  • Set and achieve SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound) goals.
• Alignment with HR Processes: Mining operations can strongly integrate safety and leadership development with:
  • Hiring practices.
  • Employee policies.
  • Collective bargaining agreements.

Why It Matters:
Leaders play a crucial role in maintaining safety, health, and well-being. By aligning leadership development with organizational goals, mining companies can more readily foster a culture of safety and excellence.
