Safety is not just rules for people who wear boots and hard hats. The safety program works best when everyone, front office to front line, gets behind it. Many safety meetings fall down in failing to ask for commitment and simply assuming they’ll get it. Ask for the commitment from the employees as part of your safety event. Most people don’t give up their signature without ownership. Then, they invited each of their 900 employees sign their names on the banner. One of my clients, as part of a safety kick-off event, erected a large “I commit to safety” banner on the wall of the hockey arena. Make your safety meeting one of the more powerful tools to re-introduce and give new life to your safety efforts. Turn a boring and mundane safety meeting into a re-commitment event. When Apple rolls-out a new iPhone, there is a lot of attention on the new product. Here are three more areas where you can get to work to build employee commitment to safety:ġ Roll-out your re-commitment strategy. But that’s not the only place you need to focus. These are some of the things that will have to happen at the front line to get better participation and results in safety. Or, not allowing side-talk or distraction to interfere with getting the right information.

It could be as simple as paying full attention during safety briefings. Make the effort to fill out paper forms legibly or watching for and warning fellow employees about dangers or improper use of PPE. Take the few extra moments to assess the hazards. It’s as simple as caring about the well-being of others. In fact, some of the best job-site leaders have no title at all.Įvery employee is quite capable of demonstrating some form of safety leadership. The truth is, you don’t need to have a management title to be a leader. Leadership is not another word for management, even though managers hijack the word and use it interchangeably with their own title. It is at the front line where safety leadership is needed most. And so it is at the front line where the focus on safety needs to take place.
The most amount of activity is at the front line. The largest numbers of workers are at the front line. The majority of safety incidents happen at the front line. However, without the employee commitment to safety, any new safety initiative falls flat. My clients have all made commitments to ensure that safety is in the forefront for the spring-summer season of work. There are about to be a lot of new faces on job sites and workplaces in the coming few months. I am working with a number of companies currently who are preparing to staff-up for their spring-summer work. It’s also, coincidentally, hiring season.
