Top Tip Tuesday - Passion

P – PASSION

Is there anything more powerful than someone who is passionate about what they do?

If you deliver any health and safety message in a monotone, dull and boring manner you will struggle to influence an individual’s decision making. If you just ‘go through the motions’ when delivering a toolbox talk, attending a briefing, or holding a 1-2-1 conversation, how do you expect others to take it seriously.

Passion in what you are delivering is the most powerful influence you can have in changing the way someone views health and safety. Passion is infectious. If an attitude towards health and safety is negative, hearing someone who is passionate about what they do can have a positive impact on how others perceive it.

Of course, understanding your subject and having that underpinning knowledge is vital when delivering a health and safety message. But if this is not delivered with passion, nobody will tend to listen. Attitude is everything. If you are unable to deliver with passion, don’t bother.
