ROLE OF THE SAFETY COACH
-
Helps set SAFETY goals and get the team motivated toward them.
-
Helps to turn Behavioural Safety theories into practice.
-
Focuses the recipient’s attention toward positive SAFETY CULTURE results.
-
Provides the tools, support and structure to accomplish more.
-
A great coach knows how to listen and ask just the right questions.
-
A safety coach knows when to challenge and when to support.
-
Safety Coaching doesn't begin until a goal has been identified, a vision.
Although the Safety Coach is trained to understand conditioning or past learning, the coaching session is initially focused on where you are NOW and where you want to get to in the FUTURE.
Safety Coaching is different from workplace mentoring.
The mentor will generally guide and teach someone in a specific task or job. The mentor will draw significantly on their own experience; will pass on short cuts and tricks of the trade. The mentor will be expected to know the answers to task related situations.
Safety Coaching includes several principles from sports coaching, like teamwork, going for the goal, performance enablers and personal
awareness levels.
An ISCA Safety Coach does just what an athletic coach or music coach does, only in a more complete and bigger way.
