Leadership Expectations and Accountabilities. NIST leadership established a vision for safety excellence, and is 

demonstrating commitment through rigorous accountability, providing resources, and ensuring continuous 

improvement of the safety management system, processes, and culture.

OSHE’s Role and Authorities. NIST has strengthened the role of the Chief Safety Officer (CSO), ensuring the 

CSO has responsibilities within the Enterprise Risk Management Council, formal accountability to the NIST 

Director, and is strengthening the roles of OSHE safety professionals by requiring safety staff to specify 

hazard mitigation measures during inspections, investigations, work observations and hazard reviews.

Safety Management System Improvement. NIST is developing new and enhancing existing safety processes to 

proactively manage safety related risks, including a new process for audits and assessments, and to elevate 

safety-related risks to enterprise level in a timely manner

Safety Culture. NIST is committed to making safety an integral part of NIST’s culture, by engaging all staff, 

conducting regular surveys, and developing and implementing action plans to improve the safety climate

Achieving and Sustaining Safety Excellence. NIST is committed to ensuring that continuous improvement is 

informed by use of leading safety performance metrics, external benchmarking, independent audits and 

assessments, and maintaining and tracking annual improvement goals.

Expanded Key Action Areas
Leadership Expectations 

and Accountability
A NIST Executive Team was convened to establish a vision for 

safety excellence

NIST Director, Associate Directors and other leaders 

communicate their value for safety, at regular town hall 

meetings, local meetings, and in conversations 

As NIST Leaders, we hold ourselves accountable by fulfilling 

our roles as safety leaders, and we hold our staff accountable 

by setting clear expectations for all staff, evaluating 

performance and enforcing basic safety rules
