Rules, they are so easy to make. So easy that safety offices are often accused of being a “Rule Mill” because they continuously produce their rule-of-the month. As easy as rules are to make, they are just as hard to enforce. Rules are designed to keep us safe and are made by well-meaning folks thinking through potential risks in the face of hazards. Rules are good for all of us… so why do people break the rules when those rules are there to protect them?
I guess the more pertinent question is “how do we get people to follow the rules?”
