Safety leadership is an important factor in supporting safe performance in the workplace. The present case study examined the role of safety leadership during the Bingham Canyon Mine high-wall failure, a significant mining incident in which no fatalities or injuries were incurred. The Critical Decision Method (CDM) was used in conjunction with a self-reporting approach to examine safety leadership in terms of decisions, behaviours and actions that contributed to the incidents' safe outcome. Mapping the analysis onto Rasmussen's Risk Management Framework (Rasmussen, 1997), the findings demonstrate clear links between safety leadership decisions, and emergent behaviours and actions across the work system. Communication and engagement based decisions featured most prominently, and were linked to different leadership practices across the work system. Further, a core sub-set of CDM decision elements were linked to the open flow and exchange of information across the work system, which was critical to supporting the safe outcome. The findings provide practical implications for the development of safety leadership capability to support safety within the mining industry.
安全领导力是支持工作场所安全绩效的重要因素。本案例研究考察了安全领导力在宾厄姆峡谷矿高壁失稳事故期间的作用，这是一次重大的采矿事件，没有造成人员伤亡。关键决策方法（CDM）与自我报告方法相结合，从有助于事件安全结果的决策、行为和行动方面考察安全领导力。将分析映射到拉森的风险管理框架（Rasmussen，1997）上，研究结果表明安全领导力决策与工作系统中涌现的行为和行动之间存在明确联系。以沟通和参与为基础的决策最为突出，并与工作系统中不同的领导实践相关联。此外，CDM 决策要素的一个核心子集与工作系统中信息的开放流动和交流相关联，这对于支持安全结果至关重要。研究结果为开发支持采矿业安全的安全领导力能力提供了实际意义。
