SafeAlign®

Equipping managers and supervisors with worldclass level skills to drive risk reduction is essential to achieving and sustaining safe operations and leading safety performance in industry.

Many organisations focus on front-line behaviours to improve safety, which can yield short-term results. However, sustained safety performance requires more than isolated actions. Real progress occurs when supervisors and middle managers, who connect strategy with daily operations, are equipped to lead effectively.

SafeAlign® strengthens safety leadership skills at this critical level, enabling leaders to drive risk reduction, align teams behind a shared safety vision, and deliver lasting improvements in safety performance.

SafeAlign®: Leadership That Transforms Safety

At DEKRA, we recognise that effective safety leadership at all levels is essential for aligning front-line behaviours with strategic safety goals, ensuring consistent exposure control, and fostering a culture of shared responsibility. SafeAlign® addresses these needs as a structured development system that equips middle managers and supervisors with the leadership tools, behaviours, and insights required for lasting safety transformation.

The SafeAlign® System: A Proven, Step-by-Step Process (accordion)

Customise leadership development to match your organisations language, workflow, and risks. Set clear governance and schedules to support safety. Track both frequency and quality of safety leadership actions to understand conversation depth, risk awareness, and control barriers.

All managers and front-line leaders are required to participate in safety leadership development. Using multiple learning platforms improves the effectiveness of safety activities and best practices.

Track safety leadership by measuring both the frequency and quality of activities. Counting actions alone is not sufficient. Leaders need insight into the depth of conversations, risk awareness, and barriers to effective operational control to achieve meaningful results.

Ensure sustainability through governance, coaching, and participation tracking. DEKRA’s approach reinforces a strong safety culture focused on reducing harm. Leaders must actively engage in safety efforts to build a culture where protection from harm is a priority across all operations.
