How to address the issue of low safety awareness among senior employees

2016-11-07View Original

Thread Content

The units that store hazardous chemicals are particularly affected by an aging workforce, with many people lacking a proper sense of safety. In fact, quite a few of them, when confronted with violations of safety rules, will say something like, \"I’ve been doing this for over 30 years and I’ve never seen any accidents happen – what should I do? What’s the best way to handle this? How can we improve their awareness of safety?\" Seeking advice.

Find a case where something went wrong and show it to him; work with him on it together to identify where his mistakes lie. With more experienced workers, there’s no need to repeat things too often – it’s important to find the issues so that he believes you. Once he thinks you understand and what you say is correct, things will be much easier.

Fines are the main form of punishment, and they double gradually; after a few such penalties, people usually stop breaking the rules~~~~ Training doesn’t have much effect~~~~ The companies around us are quite conscientious and hardly ever violate the rules on purpose~~~~

Indeed, this problem exists everywhere! Fines don’t seem to work; in addition, training and exposure to more gruesome cases are needed

1. The reason why senior employees hold such views is mainly their sense of superiority in terms of skills. It is believed that the department cannot function without him; therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the skill training of new employees so that they can grow quickly and take over from the older employees. This way, reliance on the older employees can be reduced, thereby minimizing their sense of superiority ; 2. Establish relevant systems and provide training for all employees. Inform them of the relevant regulations; 3. Enforce these regulations strictly – regardless of whether they are new or existing employees, those who violate the relevant rules must face corresponding penalties ;

What I chose to do was to find time to talk to him and see who could persuade the other. If you can’t persuade him, everything is in vain.

Establish a reward and punishment system, and strictly implement it
