Session: Building Process Safety Culture Through Influential and Inspirational Leadership

Many times, people think of leadership in the traditional sense of organizational and hierarchical leaders. However, process safety professionals have an obligation to inspire and influence people to do the “right thing” when it comes to process safety. Additionally, how is process safety leadership developed in newer employees as experienced leaders leave the workforce in “the great shift change”? This session solicits papers that describe approaches to developing and demonstrating influential and inspirational leadership that drive teams to excellence in process safety, ranging from the individual facility level to the board room. Preference will be given to papers that can connect these leadership programs to demonstrated improvements and/or sustained excellence in process safety indicators.
