You can look at compliance as a matter of behavior- following a demand, request, or wish. Compliance is a key component of a Total Safety Culture (TSC). In a TSC, people comply with all the rules, and they comply with requests from others to contribute to the safety mission. This can mean developing techniques to increase safe behavior or leading training sessions.
Social psychologists have researched techniques to strengthen compliance, and those most relevant to safety are reviewed in this article. Some might seem like common sense steps; that's because we use them everyday. After reading this article, think about putting some of these principles to work in your own action plans.
