You know the types … the employee who always knows a better way to get the job done … or the one who doesn’t need PPE because he’s “careful” … or the one who believes that getting the job done fast is the one and only priority.
The question for safety professionals is, how do you deal with workers like this? What can you do to get them to see the light?
This 60-minute audio/web program will answer the many critical questions surrounding this issue, including:
-
What motivates some workers to ignore safety?
-
What strategies can you employ to win over risky workers?
-
How can you tell if risky behavior is caused by lack of knowledge or if it’s a mechanism for expressing defiance?
-
Are there labor/management issues driving the behavior?
You’ll also learn how to:
-
Unearth the real reasons employees ignore safety
-
Identify the perceptions that often lead to risky behavior
-
Develop methods to minimize risky behaviors
-
Prevent negative safety attitudes from spreading
-
Discipline effectively when nothing else works
-
Shape workers’ perceptions of safety’s importance through better leadership.
-
Identify methods of motivation that can backfire.
By understanding the employee’s perception, you’ll be able to develop concrete methods to overcome this frustrating challenge.
