Significance of Leadership for Safety in Licensee Organizations: Self-Regulation

Yesterday, I listened to a seminar through virtual mode on the above topic. The message conveyed through all presentations was good. The presentations were also interesting and captured my attention. I attended a similar seminar a few years ago also. 

The important points to take home are as below:

  1. Leadership is to be exhibited at all levels to ensure safety.
  2. Self-regulation is important and is helpful to growing organizations.
  3. Organizations shall have self-imposed goals and should work for them (self-regulation), rather than looking to the regulators to identify their drawbacks (here, third-party audits will be helpful, if the organizations do not have the competency to identify their problems).
  4. The Decision-making process is an important activity to identify and correct the situation before it escalates.
  5. We can't sit quietly by taking pride in our past successes. Our past weaknesses are there still and can endanger us.
  6. Self-regulation through safety culture will help in safety management and lead the organizations to a successful path.
