A study of safety leadership and safety governance for board members and senior executives
Ferguson, Kirstin I. (2015) A study of safety leadership and safety governance for board members and senior executives. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
Description
This thesis is an investigation of the fields of leadership and corporate governance in the context of workplace safety. The research has made a contribution by defining four criteria of safety leadership and applying these criteria to board members, senior executives and written communications. The thesis outlines the findings of two studies; the first is an analysis of public disclosures in ASX200 annual reports and CSR reports, and the second comprises two case studies of large Australian companies including interviews with board members and senior executives. The concept of safety governance is defined and a safety governance framework is developed.
