Managing Safely for Directors and Leadership
The Managing Safely for Directors and Leadership course provides essential training for executives on integrating safety into their management practices. It covers risk management, legal responsibilities, and creating a safety culture, equipping leaders with the tools to drive safety initiatives and ensure regulatory compliance.

What is the Managing Safely for Directors and Leadership?
The Managing Safely for Directors and Leadership course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides an extended programme for directors and senior leaders who want deeper safety governance competency than the Leading Safely for Directors course provides. While Leading Safely introduces the director’s governance role, this extended programme develops the strategic safety management competency for senior leaders who actively shape organisational safety direction: integrating safety into business strategy, managing safety across multi-site operations, governing safety through mergers and acquisitions, managing regulatory relationships strategically, and building the safety culture that sustains performance through leadership transitions and organisational change. The curriculum covers advanced legal framework (prosecution case studies, sentencing guidelines, director disqualification), safety governance structures (board safety committees, safety KPI dashboards, management reporting frameworks), strategic risk oversight (enterprise risk management integration, risk appetite definition, bow-tie for senior leaders), multi-site and multi-national safety governance, M&A safety due diligence, regulatory relationship management, crisis and reputation management, safety culture assessment and transformation, succession planning for safety leadership, and the board-level safety governance charter. 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.
