We have seen some definitions of what leadership for safety is.
But we sometimes forget that managers are the highest-ranking leaders
in many industries.
They are responsible for developing culture, and especially safety culture.
In this chart developed by Kotter and Heskett in 1992,
we can see some differences between management, at the right,
and leadership at the left.
We can say that management for safety makes the management system
to be more effective.
This kind of management system has to combine all the basic elements
of management.
And thus, there is a need to establish and integrate both,
all the requirements for safety and all other requirements,
such as the requirements for a good human performance.
Requirements for security and quality.
In a way this prevents compromising the safety,
but it also meets all the other requirements and needs.
Safety measures must be designed and applied in an integrated manner.
That is why management is so important.
Management has to develop and cultivate a strong safety culture.
It also has to evaluate the performance of safety behaviors and the integration
and learning from the experience of past events, positive and negative,
according to the approach we talked about
in SAFETY I AND SAFETY II.
Take into account that management systems must promote the development
of a proactive and responsible behaviors in managers.
