Safety leadership - In safety critical industries, leadership is essential to avoid incidents

RelyOn Nutec has formed a strategic partnership with CAVU International to provide safety leadership, performance coaching and continuous performance improvement (CPI) services for companies in safety critical industries.

CAVU works worldwide across various safety critical industries such as oil and gas, energy, law enforcement, maritime shipping, healthcare and manufacturing. They deliver the coaching and mentoring necessary to improve team behaviours and organisational culture both onsite and virtually.

Their main offerings are:

• Mentorship and coaching
• Frontline supervisor coaching
• Safety leader training
• Leadership seminars
• Operational excellence keynotes

CAVU works with senior management to improve strategic communications related to corporate culture and to help them align their message with their actions, meanwhile working onsite with crews to reinforce team communication, risk mitigation and decision-making.

The focus lies on three key areas: leadership fundamentals, continuous improvement and optimised team behaviours. Their continuous performance improvement methodology will help your team adapt and adjust to outpace the market and your competitors.

CAVU coaches are proven leaders with decades of experience leading people in nearly every kind of challenging environment. Their coaches are masters at relating to and working alongside your crew to share the fundamental tenets of effective management and solid leadership.

Focusing on leadership fundamentals that drive optimum team behaviours centred around the continuous improvement process can help you eliminate safety issues and improve morale.

With the use of Crew Resource Management (CRM), they support you in reaching the next level of operational safety and efficiency through adopting the critical soft skills of CRM:

• Situational awareness
• Decision-making
• Communication
• Teamwork
• Leadership
• Performance shaping factors

The best way to eliminate incidents and ensure a safe work environment is by integrating reviews and debriefs in normal operations, not only after incidents happen. This proactive approach provides all workers with important information so that accidents can be avoided.

Proactive, continuous improvement requires integrating regularly scheduled reviews into your company’s standard workflow. This can help identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and prospects for reducing waste and Non-Productive Time (NPT).

The best way to improve teamwork and morale is by setting a good example and leading the right way.

This can be challenging, especially in safety critical work environments where new situations constantly arise, and pressure is always high.
