Safety Leadership content from EHS Today: Does your organization designate a particular style of management they desire and promote for safety? Strategically thinking organizations often do. Sometimes the "official" style of management for the overall organization is applied to safety, and sometimes safety has its own style.

these management styles directly tie into the managing down lesson from Production Personnel Management. I feel that my management style when it comes to safety is an mix of these styles, geared towards the buy in and ownership style. Presenting the opportunity for people to recognize what the hazard could cost and investing in safer and possibly more efficient processes. This creates the opportunity for the workers to be more invested in the task because they came up with it and therefore are motivated to see it work. The other half of my management style is large scale recognition. This borders on control style but is more so about being perceptive the the situation as a whole and works with the ownership and buy in because I present the people working with the opportunity to come up with the solution and then I assess the solution with additional factors that they may not be fully aware of. I feel there is no specific right answer and the wrong answer is the one that gets people hurt repeatedly.
