Another point I may add is “Culture”
The Culture in general sense, what we adopt from surroundings. (Co- others / Management Staff and line supervisors). Even a worker who has been regularly using PPE in his earlier establishment, comes and join this unit where no one bothers about PPE and every one talks about production / numbers, after few days he also change his behavior of not wearing PPE.
To reinforce the behavior of using appropriate PPE by workmen at site, is to give positive appreciation by every one from top mgt, supervisor and co worker, whenever passing through the side of the workmen, for using appropriate PPE for the appropriate work stations. This positive appreciation after some time changes the entire culture of using PPE inside. Make sure that appropriate type / size of PPE are made available for all workmen for any time.
I strongly believe that any at risk behavior by any workmen in side the shop floor, is basically due to wrong / enforcement of system and procedure for which Management is responsible. In fact I put my argument with the management in one occasion ‘when one of the alleged misappropriations of cash, by a clerk in accounts department was reported’ I said it is the total system and procedure negligence / failure in accounts department, for which the Manager- Accounts responsible. The Manager- Accounts was fired.
