Masterclass in Safety Culture & Leadership |

Course information

Features retired Nasa Astronaut – Jim Wetherbee!

How can boards and senior executives build robust safety cultures that are resilient to low probability, high consequence events such as the Grenfell Tower Fire?

Following the fire and Dame Judith Hackitt’s Review ‘Building a Safer Future’, it is clear that the industry needs to
transform its safety culture. This exclusive Masterclass provides practical insights and guidance into how boards
and executives can build stronger safety cultures to ensure that their organisations are resilient to major incidents.

This Masterclass is brought to you by CORGI Technical Services and the ASCP, in association with JMJ Associates, a global leader in developing safety leadership and culture in high hazard industries.

The highly interactive workshop is designed to challenge conventional thinking and leave participants with practical insights and actions they can implement in their organisations. The workshop will introduce key concepts and principles for building strong safety cultures. It will provide a safe space to share experiences and learnings with each other.

Our vision is to equip social housing boards across the UK to better understand the impact culture has on safety and deliver the Charter for Social Housing Residents White Paper objectives, helping to keep millions of residents safe.
