Let’s be honest—when was the last time you paused to think about your leadership style when it comes to safety? Not just ticking boxes or following protocols, but truly leading with safety at the heart of your decisions, conversations, and culture.

If that question made you pause, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why the new EHSCOACH.COM – Safety Leadership Assessment Tool (version 202505 – Click for free download) exists. It’s not just a checklist—it’s a mirror. One that helps you see where you shine and where you might need to grow as a safety leader.

🧭 What’s This Tool All About?

This assessment is designed for leaders at all levels—executives, safety professionals, and operational managers—who want to take a hard look at how they lead on safety. It covers seven key areas, each packed with thoughtful prompts that make you ask, “Do I really do this?”

🔍 The Seven Dimensions of Safety Leadership

1. Safety Vision and Values

Do you talk about safety only when it’s required, or is it woven into your strategy and everyday decisions?

2. Safety Engagement

Are you creating space for employees to speak up and take ownership of safety? Or is it still a top-down conversation?

3. Safety Communication

How well do your safety messages land? Are they clear, memorable, and tailored to your audience?

4. Safety Decision Making

Do you weigh safety risks before making decisions—or after something goes wrong?

5. Safety Accountability

Are you modelling the behaviours you expect from others? And are you holding your team to the same standards?

6. Safety Learning

When incidents happen, do you focus on learning or blame? Are you sharing lessons and following through?

7. Safety Integration

Is safety part of your operational DNA, or is it still sitting in a silo?

📊 Scoring That Sparks Action

Each section is scored from 1 to 5. But here’s the twist: anything below a 4.0 isn’t just a number—it’s a call to action. The tool guides you to reflect, identify barriers, and build a plan. It even encourages you to seek feedback and set a timeline to reassess.
