May 13, 2016 - CORESafety is one of the most effective safety and health management systems in the mining industry today.

CORESafety was launched in 2011 by the National Mining Association. Since then, companies operating in all segments of the industry have implemented it with the goal of achieving zero fatalities and 50% fewer injuries over the next five years.

Module #1 - “Leadership Development,” is the foundation of the entire initiative.

You begin by identifying and developing employees in leadership positions, or those with leadership potential, who can:

• Influence safety and health performance improvement;

• Positively and knowingly affect your safety culture; and

• Help your organization achieve the 0:50:5 objective.

Leaders need to fully understand their strengths and weaknesses. To effectively influence safety and health performance improvement, they should:

• Hold themselves and their subordinates accountable

• Be action-oriented

• Be collaborative

• Be an effective communicator

• Have integrity

• Provide effective performance feedback

• Be systems-focused

• Have a personal vision and passion for safety excellence
