This typically takes the form of a 1 hour meeting with
Martin Barnard every few months to
discuss particular issues as they arise. These mentoring
sessions provide great benefits to both the individual and their
organisation:
Individuals
- Time is specifically focussed on health and safety strategic
issues
- Opportunity to learn from leading expert on health and
safety
- Ability to think ‘outside the box’ i.e. explore ideas without
concern for how such notions may be viewed internally
- Encouragement to combine ‘leadership’ in health and safety with
the ‘management’ aspect which more usually occupies the
individual’s time
- Opportunity to gain confidence and feel comfortable in the
health and safety messages to be delivered
- Be able to speak openly with external ‘honest bloke’ on
specific issues
Organisation
- Enhancing individual and corporate strategy for health and
safety
- Developing health and safety ‘champion’ at senior level who
will influence thinking of peers
- Better balance between ‘leadership’ and ‘management’ in the
delivery of company business
- Obvious and clear demonstration of proactive approach to health
and safety which can stand the test of external scrutiny
- Senior individuals more confident and more willing to engage
the workforce in a joint approach to positive health and
safety
- Cost effective means of engaging senior personnel in a
proactive approach based on simple deliverables such as ‘little but
often’ and ‘celebrate success’.
