What can you do?
Empower frontline employees.
- Let employees perform safety/housekeeping checklists alongside management so they know what to look for.
- Have employees inspect departments other than their own.
Don’t forget sometimes:
”You can’t see the forest because of the trees”
Three mottos
• Three Safety/Housekeeping Mottos to live by:
1) “ If you see it, you own it.”
2) “If you walk by it, you condone it.”
3) “What’s wrong with this picture?”
-Take or stage photos of unsafe situations and have your employees identify the hazards.
-Trains people to look for the right things. -Can make it a game and reward with prizes.
