Leading Safely for Directors
The Leading Safely for Directors course provides directors with essential training on their responsibilities in promoting workplace safety. It covers risk management, legal obligations, and fostering a safety culture, equipping leaders with the knowledge to drive safety initiatives and ensure compliance at all levels of the organization.
What is the Leading Safely for Directors?
The Leading Safely for Directors course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides governance-level safety training for directors, board members, C-suite executives, and senior leaders who set organisational direction and carry ultimate legal accountability for workplace safety. Directors do not manage safety programmes — managers do that. Directors govern: they set the tone, allocate resources, hold management accountable, and carry the legal duty of care that makes them personally liable when governance failures contribute to workplace deaths. The curriculum covers directors’ legal duties and personal liability for safety, the director’s role in safety governance (distinct from management), setting organisational safety culture from the top, strategic safety leadership (vision, values, policy), safety performance oversight at board level (what metrics to review, what questions to ask), resource allocation decisions (funding safety systems, training, staffing), holding management accountable for safety performance, the director’s role in major incident response, and reputational risk management. All training is delivered 100 percent online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS. Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate, wallet card, and transcript, employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
