Start every group meeting with a “Safety Share” for develop a vision for safety. It also gives people the chance to recognize the many things they do daily to keep each other safe.
Treat employees with respect, honesty and fairness. We get employees involved in safety the same way we get anyone to do anything. Work to find out what they want, then respond in meeting their needs and addressing their concerns. This requires leadership and partnership, and it is irresistible.
Thanking employees for their efforts in safety.
This has to go beyond “do this so you don’t get hurt”.
Get everyone on the same page. Executives, supervisors, employees and the safety team must have the same vision for safety and health. Everyone must understand that safety and health really are important to each level of the organization, and that the employees.
