Safe Work Practices, Operating Procedures and Maintenance Procedures are a STARTING POINT!

By /
Maybe I’m just old school, but is it just too much to ask for:
  1. a well written safety procedure,
  2. one that is written and analyzed with a safety pro and the worker(s) who do the actual work,
  3. that management will fully support the procedures everyday-everytime, including on holidays that fall on a Sunday, and
  4. employees will follow procedure everyday-everytime, including on holidays that fall on a Sunday?
There is a reason why old-school safety has saved millions of lives in the last 70 years.
 
Almost all of the tragedies I have investigated in my 30+ years centered around either:
  1. the lack of a procedure,
  2. a poorly written procedure,
  3. no training on the procedure, and/or
  4. lack of management support for the procedure
It is a STARTING POINT!
