Electrical safety leadership

摘要

This paper will attempt to define what electrical safety leadership is and how it can be used to make significant changes. If there is to be continuing change in the electrical safety culture, there need to be leaders who are willing to take up the cause. Leadership is not something that is appointed or assigned, but is something that is earned as a result of knowledge, abilities, and commitment. Leadership is needed at the individual level, site level, corporate level, and societal level. Leaders need to be recruiting and developing other leaders to spread the level of influence in changing the electrical safety culture. Organizations such as the Petroleum Chemical Industry Committee (PCIC) and the Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW) should be developing electrical safety leaders. This paper will also attempt to outline some steps that can be taken to develop electrical safety leaders.
