Abstract
This briefing explores the tenets of safety leadership within the construction environment. The scope of this briefing aims to define a universal definition of safety leadership with key components from literature review. Without a clear definition towards safety leadership, a misalignment between safety expectations may occur which can create a misappropriation towards safety efforts. This may adversely impact injury rates within the workplace due to ill-conceived safety leadership behaviours. A detailed definition of safety leadership may serve as a foundation for other industries such as mining, manufacturing or petrochemicals.
