AGGREGATES MANAGER / March 2018 31 Knowledge Must every leader know everything there is to know about safety? Of course not, especially when it comes to technical safety knowledge. That expertise is provided by safety pro- fessionals. But every leader should have enough knowledge about the area(s) they oversee to be able to speak intelligently to direct reports about the safety issues relevant to them. And they must possess detailed knowledge and understanding about how to effectively manage safety so that everyone goes home safely every day. Reasoning Reasoning is the use of logical thought, and the principles of logic, in order to form a conclusion or judgment about some- thing. It is the ability of the mind to think and understand things in a logical way, and uses the application of everyday knowledge, education, and thinking skills to analyze and eval- uate information. The effective safety leader uses knowledge, education, and experience to comprehend, analyze, and eval- uate information and situations to make decisions about safety that make logical sense to others. Strong reasoning ability is rooted in knowing oneself and the organization well and possessing the skill to gather information from all sides of an issue before making decisions. Some practical ways a leader demonstrates safety reasoning ability include insisting safety not be compromised when working under pressure, asking that procedures be updated when new risks are identified, adapting quickly to changes in safety policies and procedures, effectively addressing unsafe behaviors, and telling stories of how safety has become a personal value. When a leader connects safety into the business operation and demonstrates credible safety consciousness, others begin to realize that safety is integral to business success and that their leader has emerged as one who makes business deci- sions with safety in mind. The next article will explore the fourth domain of safety leadership — building trust. AM C. David Crouch is director of research and development for Caterpillar Safety Services.
