Safety observations are much needed to modify behavior
The main objective in any safety training program should be the elimination of incidents and injuries. The key to eliminating incidents and injuries is to modify behavior by observing people as they work and talking with them to encourage safe work practices and eliminate at-risk behaviors. As you make an effort to reduce injuries, you can also see lower costs, increase productivity, and improved employee moral.
Safety training programs are people talking with people about safety. One of the key components of your safety program should be to teach safety auditing skills, so supervisors and employees can observe workers who are performing normal work activities, reinforce safe work practices, and correct unsafe acts and conditions.
