Team Safety Studies*
Thread Content
I’ve found that the team safety training in our company is merely a formality. To meet the above inspections
This phenomenon is present in the safety studies at the team level in many enterprises today. Therefore, there must be innovation and change in the approach to safety studies!* Safety training should be conducted in a way that is easy for employees to accept, so that they can remember the safety knowledge. As for the specific methods, it’s up to each company and each security manager to think it through!
It’s not about constantly using one’s brain; it’s about having the managers participate each time and analyze their statements, so as to see what attitude the employees have. If team activities don’t yield good results, it’s because the managers are lazy and don’t take action
The problem is that employees cannot see any actual results, and the training content is not closely linked to real-world applications. Moreover, the safety authorities focus on formality rather than actual outcomes
At present, the amount of learning activities in the work teams of many organizations is indeed so excessive; they often remain mere formalities without any real substance. A group of people listened passively as someone read from a script, with no idea what he was reading. Why does this phenomenon occur? I believe that the people who developed this game have no real understanding of the situation; they are disconnected from reality, from everyday life, and from work. They lack any research methods, and their approach is merely to follow documents step by step, mechanically carrying out tasks assigned by their superiors – which is what has led to the current situation.
Previously, our company’s teams used two methods for training: 1) discussing accident cases in a meeting room, with the bloody lessons learned from past incidents presented in the form of photos and distributed to everyone. 2. Five minutes before starting work each day, one operating procedure is explained, along with the preventive measures and potential consequences; moreover, photos are displayed on switches, various components, and other areas where violations often lead to accidents, as a warning. The effect is quite good/
Team safety activities should receive attention from the top leaders of the organization, and these aspects should be emphasized regularly within such activities in order to raise employees’ safety awareness. Regarding the specific activities, they should be organized in accordance with the ** safety requirements and the needs of the company’s safe development. It is best to integrate safety considerations with processes and equipment, carry out safety assessments, and enable employees to analyze the risk factors associated with their own positions on their own. This allows for the implementation of effective control measures during actual operations, thereby ensuring that safety measures are properly put into practice.
The key lies in leadership; leadership is an attitude toward completing tasks, let alone the employees below. If the leadership pays attention, will it still remain a formality? As long as nothing goes wrong now, it’s sufficient to get the basic tasks done; much of it is just formalism!
During shift handovers, our team conducts safety sharing sessions (where people take turns sharing), and then everyone discusses what was shared; this usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. It doesn’t matter whether a manager is present or not, as the main goal is for everyone to learn from it.
Not to mention safety training specific to work teams*, even during the safety sessions organized by the company, there are still people who chatter constantly. It’s tiring for those giving the lectures, and it’s also tiring for those listening. If the quality of the lectures is poor, then even when external experts give the lectures, it’s similar – only better at the beginning and then just as bad afterward!
Things are okay here; the main thing is to keep up with the assessments after learning*, and it’s useful to learn more on a regular basis, as it comes in handy when things happen
It’s better when the leader is here; otherwise, how would they dare to reduce an hour to 20 minutes? Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Form is important; it’s best not to use a classroom-based approach, as it’s time-consuming and yields poor results. What can be achieved by hiring external trainers? It’s crucial to determine training needs based on actual circumstances. For example, if everyone already knows how to use a fire extinguisher, then providing additional training for that purpose isn’t really a training need
