Am currently working with the training department to put together a specific 2 hour Health & Safety module for Team Leaders in a fun and interactive way. Need to get away from the chalk and talk ways, anyone with any ideas?

Are you including a session on ways to influence others to work safely? Setting high personal standards, reward and recognition, ways to observe safe conditions and behaviour.

I often find this type of training has the 'what' i.e. the law and rules etc. but not the 'how'. Ways to effectively influence others.

What is the team leaders involvement in leading monitoring/observation, incident investigation, setting standards, rules and leading workplace improvement teams/communication forums.

After the day they will also need support and coaching by management. Have all directors and managers been suitably trained in similar ways? How do they engage and influence their team leaders?


All the best

I recently ran a training session of similar length and found that rather than preaching to them, or telling them all the info, getting them to think about it was much more beneficial. I did a "facilitated brainstorm" where they came up with the answers them selves, I posed some simple questions gave a few prompts here and there and that was all we needed, by the end of the session they had a come up with most of the info I wanted to tell them on their own. OK they didn't know the reg numbers etc but that is not the point.
The feedback we got was good, and so far the accident stats for this project look very good.

This may not be the best way for you but might be worth considering, it certainly made for a lively session, no one fell asleep!
