Class Modules
The Zero Harm Safety Leadership program is a six-module course of study conducted over approximately 9 months. Students attend a total of nine sessions in five hour-long increments.
Module 1:
Metals Supervisor Safety Foundations
Through interactive sessions with consulting leadership and safety professionals, the participants will gain an understanding in the following key subject areas: Zero Harm methodologies, framework for safety management systems, supervisory soft skills, industry-specific risks, and an overview of regulatory requirements from the perspective of the supervisors’ roles and responsibilities.
Four, 5-Hour Online Sessions
Module 2:
Safety Leadership
Simply put, leadership sets the foundation to achieve a winning culture. Leaders in all capacities have the ability to help others succeed both personally and professionally. However, those leaders must first understand their role and develop the knowledge and skills necessary to lead cultural change. This workshop sets the foundation to recognize what a great safety culture looks like and understand their part in achieving “great”. It introduces supervisor, manager, department head or any other staff employee to roles and expectations as safety leaders.

Module 3:
High-Impact Observations
A high impact observation is any conversation with an employee initiated by a supervisor or manager in which exposure is observed, feedback is provided, and a two-way conversation is held to strengthen the use of best practices. This workshop will help supervisors develop an ability to recognize safe behaviors and communicate insights to engage employees and build relationships, not simply instruct.

Module 4:
Physical Hazard Identification
Area inspections may be standard procedures for supervisors, but how can inspections be leveraged to increase effectiveness? Science has taught us that by learning to analyze hazards as they interact with behaviors, safety leaders can turn routine inspections into opportunities for employee engagement. Changing the approach and process can change the output – leading to leverage for future impact. Leaders will learn how to leverage skills in Action Orientation as they apply to Physical Hazard Identification and exposure reduction.

Module 5:
Job Safety Briefings
A Job Safety Briefing is a series of interactions that focus on the specific safety requirements, instruction and exposures associated with a work task. By building on knowledge and experience gained in High Impact Observations , safety leaders will develop skills to move from two-way coaching to leading a larger group. Utilizing a genuine approach, leaders learn to engage everyone in a conversation around safety as it relates to a specific task or subject.
One, 5-Hour Online Session
Module 6:
Incident Investigation & Response
When an incident occurs, all employees watch to see how their leader responds. How a leader interacts with the affected employees and communicates to the team creates the atmosphere that impacts culture. When bad things happen, your credibility is on the line. Learn how to apply credibility skills to respond appropriately to incidents and conduct effective root cause analyses.
One, 5-Hour Online Session
Cohort 6 is now open for enrollment. Each Cohort will meet on a consistent day of the week, nine times, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. CST
FAQ
Any individual in a front-line supervisor or managerial position.
Absolutely! The leadership and communication skills learned will also transfer to the leadership of other areas like productivity and quality.
No. The live workshops use experiential learning with interaction between the student and the facilitator as well as with other students during breakouts.
Each attendee will receive a unique link before the workshop allowing them to download the class materials.
No, each attendee must have their own seat at a workstation with a camera, microphone and speakers.
Any office, conference room or home office that’s quiet and allows for free conversation without interruptions. Each student’s microphone should be able to stay on without being muted or having background noise pushed into the meeting environment.

The OSHA 30-Hour course is largely compliance focused and contains a broad set of topics that will be wider than necessary for most workplaces. The Zero Harm Safety Leadership Program is tightly targeted to the metals industry to maximize the impact and reduce time expenditure of your supervisors. The modules include soft skills for the supervisor to understand their role in identifying exposures and mitigating the risks to both the employee and the employer. UpVantage Strategies offers the OSHA courses if the 30-Hour card is required by a customer.
