FEIT Leadership Team Safety Walk

• Site conducted

  Select

• The FEIT Safety Leadership Walk is a tool for senior members of the Faculty Executive to assess the safety culture in FEIT, whilst also providing visible leadership. A range of 'indicators' have been chosen which are quick and easy to measure and will steer our safety culture in a positive direction.
  This assessment does not replace regular workplace inspections and detailed systems audits; they are an important component of the health and safety management system and are required to fully appraise all aspects of safety at a location.
