If there ever existed a paradox in the safety industry, it is the term “personal safety.” Safety initiatives are anything but personal. All employees receive the same safety training, PPE, and sets of safety rules — all of which are meant to transform them into responsible and safety-conscious individuals. But does this transformation really happen?
Personal safety remains a constant challenge that employees face primarily on their own. How each perceives and responds to workplace exposures, ultimately determines their likelihood of being injured.
