Most often, it's not an intentional omission, rather a result of managing multiple priorities simultaneously. The effective safety leader is dili- gent in keeping everyone informed, using whatever commu- nication methods may be required. He realizes that sharing relevant safety information with others provides a strong foundation, enabling them to work safely every day. Integrate safety The good thing about priorities is that they help you focus your attention on what's most important at the moment. The bad thing about priorities is that they can change. If safety is only a priority, focus on it can change depending on the circumstances. Safety is always important, so making it a priority is not enough. Safety must become a value. A value, or principle, is something that helps you know what is right and wrong and that influences your actions. When safety is truly valued by the leader, it manifests itself in word and deed and is integrated into the way work gets done. It is at least an equal partner with production, quality, customer service, or finance. The effective safety leader explains the relevance of safety to the business operation, integrates safety into the business conversation, and explains the why behind the what. Domain #3: Demonstrate Credible Consciousness Credible safety consciousness is believable, reliable, and con- vincing awareness and understanding of what it takes to be safe. When a leader demonstrates credible safety conscious- ness, it is apparent to others that he understands the safety processes within the team, has the necessary information to make informed safety decisions, effectively appraises risks where they exist, internalizes safety concepts and applies them personally, and continually learns and grows in his ability to lead a culture of safety excellence.
