About the course
What this course covers.
Safety culture is not set by the safety department alone - it is set by whoever, on any crew, decides to lead. Leadership for Safety is built for the worker who wants to be that person. It is not another basic-safety course with the word leadership added to the title; it focuses on how real leadership principles apply to safety on the job.
The course covers what safety leadership is and is not, the responsibilities a safety leader carries, and the essential tools - accountability, doing what you say you will do, and the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle. It works through the attributes that make a safety leader effective: humility, focus, people and communication skills, trust, engagement and empowerment, and recognition.
The course is designed for workers who already have a basic knowledge of workplace safety and want to make a bigger difference. It suits front-line workers, not only safety staff or managers, and companies use it to grow safety leadership across a crew and lift the overall safety culture.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
We wanted safety leadership to come from the crew, not just the safety office. This course gave our people a real framework for it.
Marcus L.
Operations Lead
Refreshing - it actually teaches leadership applied to safety, not basic safety with leadership in the title. We use it to grow our next safety leaders.
Sandrine P.
HSE Manager
I am not in a safety role, but this changed how I speak up on site. The accountability and trust sections stuck with me.

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
Testing runs throughout the course and a mark of 80 percent earns the certificate; the course can be repeated twice if the pass mark is not met on the first attempt. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion valid for three years from the completion date.
- Fully online and self-paced - about an hour of content
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
- Built for any worker with a basic knowledge of workplace safety
- Pass mark is 80 percent, with two retakes included
Why it matters for compliance
A strong safety culture is what makes a safety management system actually work, and COR audits look closely at leadership and worker participation. Leadership for Safety helps build the safety leadership a strong culture depends on, across a crew rather than only in the safety office.
