What is the Role of Leadership in developing a Safety Culture? Corporate health and safety are important elements of any organisation but are often not given enough importance by the leadership unless enforced by quality-certifying institutions.

However, many companies, especially those more prone to organisational safety hazards, have seen vast benefits from implementing a more proactive approach to health and safety, rather than a reactive one.

Leaders should also understand that obeying the law, containing losses, and improving productivity levels can best be attained if employees feel safe in their workspaces. It is also important to investigate why health and safety management should include perspectives on human and cultural elements of the workplace.
