Risk Matrix #98: How to Get Budget for Your Safety Program
Even when safety risks are rising, many leaders struggle to get the budget they need. Executives often view safety as a cost; not a strategic investment.
We explore hands-on examples you can use to make the business case for safety by tying it to outcomes leadership cares about like reducing downtime, liability, and insurance costs. You’ll learn how to speak the language of decision-makers, quantify risk in financial terms, and hear real-world examples of what actually gets budget approved.
