How to do a good job in safety work

I believe that using accident cases for training in such situations can be effective, especially by using accident cases from our own company or other companies with similar production activities. It is also very important for employees to have a certain level of knowledge in safety techniques, such as how to use fire extinguishers and various safety basics. In addition, the company must establish standard operating procedures as well as necessary safety management and evaluation systems, and require employees to comply with them strictly. I’m not sure if the following story will be inspiring to you: Five monkeys were kept in a cage, with a bunch of bananas above them. The experimenters installed an automatic device that would spray water into the cage as soon as it detected any monkey trying to reach for the bananas, causing all five monkeys to get wet. First, a monkey wanted to get the banana. Of course, as a result, every monkey got wet. After a few attempts, each monkey realized that this was the case, and so they reached a consensus: not to try to get the banana in order to avoid getting sprayed with water. Later, the experimenters released one of the monkeys and replaced it with a new monkey, A. When monkey A saw the banana, it immediately tried to get it, but it was beaten up by the other four monkeys, who thought that A would cause them to get wet. A tried several times, but despite being beaten badly, it still couldn’t get the banana. Of course, these five monkeys weren’t sprayed with water. Later, the experimenters released another old monkey and replaced it with another new monkey, B. When monkey B saw the banana, it also rushed to get it, and just as before, the other four monkeys beat B up severely. In particular, monkey A was especially violent in its attacks (this is what happens when veterans bully newcomers, or when a bride becomes a mother＾O＾). B tried several times but was always beaten badly, so it gave up. Gradually, all the old monkeys were replaced with new ones, and none of them dared to touch the banana, though they didn’t know why; they only knew that trying to get the banana would result in being beaten by the other monkeys.

Using accident case training is indeed a good approach, but if the training is merely a formality, it will not be effective. In fact, fines are the most direct and effective solution, but they are not very humane. Just like the little monkey getting beaten by the sea, it is also a form of punishment. This question reminds me of raising my son at home. He is now over two years old, and although I often imagine using educational methods similar to those in foreign countries, such as reasoning with him or allowing him to develop freely, that simply doesn’t work; more often, I have to use force to resolve problems. (But it’s not real; just a scare, hehe)

If it is changed to using rewards instead of punishment, the effect might be better.

The problem is quite difficult to solve, but the story on the second floor is fascinating and very useful as a reference
