Beyond Compliance: Coaching the Verification of Controls

Control verification is more than completing a checklist; it’s a learning opportunity. Hosted by safety leadership coach John Barclay, this brief workshop explores how coaching can improve the quality and consistency of control verification. Whether you're a supervisor, safety professional, or manager, this session will help you develop the mindset and practices to go beyond compliance and engage proactively and meaningfully with front-line team members around risk controls.

You'll learn how to use coaching skills for better control verification, not just to check it, but to ensure it's understood, followed, and effective.

Why Attend?

Because lives depend on controls working and leaders understanding how to verify them with influence, not just inspection.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the role of coaching in strengthening critical control verification

• Learn how to ask powerful questions to test understanding and effectiveness

• Shift from transactional (tick-box) control checks to relational (conversational) coaching

• Identify common pitfalls in control verification and how coaching can address them

• Gain practical coaching techniques to improve control, ownership and field engagement
