I worked at UPS for 8 years and have been part of the culture of "screw safety- it's just pesky rules" and part of creating the buy in for taking procedures seriously. You hit the nail on the head- everyone must feel vested in the culture of safety. Having said that, it takes a leader, someone the hierarchy respects, to speak up and set the social standard. It also takes evaluating the rules because some procedures are not necessary. Having irrelevant rules encourages a culture of "whatever" regarding safety. As social creatures, we fill the gaps of inattentiveness for each other and help each other recognize when fatigue and distraction could get in our way.Peasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253241678959045893noreply@blogger.com
