Do Supervisor's Leadership Behaviours Impact Safety?
How good an organisation's supervisor is, and the types of leadership behaviours they use, affect overall safety performance.
For this article, we review a paper that looks at the role that supervisors play in safety leadership. This paper describes an interview study of 69 supervisors recruited from the UK construction industry.
The study examined influences on supervisors’ safety leadership behaviours including role overload, production demands, formal procedures and workforce characteristics.
