The challenge

As a leading industrial gases business in Europe and Asia, Air Products has built a strong safety track record over many years, establishing systems, processes, and procedures to help manage safety risks and support their ambition to constantly drive towards a high reliability health and safety culture. Their challenge was to take that safety focus to the next level, embedding a culture that truly empowers safety at every level in the organisation.

Our solution

Creating the right culture for empowering safety starts with leaders throughout Air Products Europe and Asia.

We worked with EHS colleagues to create a virtual safety leadership programme that engaged leaders from across the business in their role to create the right environment for empowering safety.

The programme drew on 10 fundamentals for safety leadership, and was piloted with the Executive team before being cascaded to leaders through the business in leadership team groups.

The outcome

Feedback from the Executive team pilot was hugely positive, engaging them in leading workshops for their own teams alongside their EHS business partners.
