My first point of call is to ask why? Is the problem with the protocol, can it be followed? Or does it cause frustration and delays with non value adding steps in the name of safety? Most protocols that are not followed have been written with legal compliance in mind not operational needs.

Establish policies and procedures with check sheets, drilling, and correcting errors as they occur. Should resolve conflict and support from company Officers.

Everything that is obvious like safety audits, safety notices, mandatory safety compliance that we generally enforce on our employees usually don’t work well. There are still some employees who will never take safety protocol as a priority so in my understanding, the best way to make employees prioritize safety protocols is to make them aware of the hazards it can cause to other employees i.e targetting one’s emotional side. Guilt of not following through a safety protocol and how it could effect someone else is a very effective way of tapping into someone’s conscious. Other than that we can always have the safety checks time paid seperately than regular hours but that again dosen’t motivate employees to do their best at basics.

Need to make them visualize the impact of not following safety standards, make them feel responsible for the good and bad things which is going to happen on behalf of not implementing safety protocols, make them understand the severity of safety standards which leads every individuals in this world to live the life as they want to...

Effective workplace safety is achieved through a combination of proactive strategies. Safety audits help identify gaps in knowledge and compliance, allowing for targeted training. Reinforcing accountability through regular check-ins and clear consequences for non-compliance ensures that everyone remains committed to safety standards. Leading by example is crucial—when leadership consistently follows safety protocols, it sets a positive precedent for the entire team. This creates a culture where safety is a shared responsibility, reducing risks and promoting a safe work environment for all.

I would reiterate the importance of workplace safety, emphasizing how following protocols protects not only them but also their colleagues. Providing targeted training or a refresher course could reinforce the significance of compliance. If non-compliance persists, I would enforce accountability measures aligned with company policy, such as warnings or disciplinary action. Simultaneously, I’d foster a culture of safety by leading by example, recognizing safe behaviors, and encouraging open communication to ensure protocols are viewed as essential rather than optional.
