Greetings to all.
For improving the safety performance, we should review the entire system from the starting point.
Safety Policy - Is there a safety policy declared by the occupier or the factory manager or the CEO and made available to all the relevent person. Refer the Factories Act, 1948 for this.
If there is no Safety Policy, convince your managment for having one and help your managment to formulate a Policy.
Draw a action plan in line with the Safety policy - keeping in mind the long term and short term factors.
A safety Committee should be formed and it should be seen that it is a functional committee and not just a dummy committee.
All unsafe conditions should be taken care of, and in such a manner that the shop floor people are made to feel that this is being done for their betterment. It will give the impression that the top managment is serious aboput Safety.
Ideas should be invited and if any idea gets implented the person generating the idea should be appreciated publically. A good way would be to post a appreciation letter on the notice board.
Person prone to accidents or unsafe actions, either due to the work conditions or due to their own habbits should be identified and observed. A counselling session should be arranged in a group or individually as the case may be. The person handling the counselling session should be skilled.
Based on the accident reports and near miss reports and their investigations and analysis, some factors having high priority should be identified and training modules should be prepared. Training should be provided after conducting need identification. As correctly mentioned by Mr. Dipil, a nice training hall with pleasent ambience makes a great effect.
Posting of some relevent factors in form of one point lesson at various points, one point in a week can have some impact.
These may be a few steps to begin with.
Best Regards.
Raman.
