Getting employees involved

You can get employees involved in working safely and promoting safety among their co-workers by following these important steps:

* Convince workers routine safety activities are really worthwhile.
* Use personal testimony to show how safe actions can really make a difference.
* Educate and train workers so they’re confident they can handle safety tasks.
* Make sure they have personal control over achieving safety goals.
* Encourage expectations of achieving good results.
* Recognize individual and group safety contributions and achievements.
* Praise individuals when they go beyond the call for safety.
* Hold team celebrations for group safety achievements.
