Safety Enforcement
In order to have an effective safety program,
management at all levels must enforce every safety
rule and regulation. Strong disciplinary measures are
sometimes required. They should consist of a warning,
written reprimand, work suspension, transfer, demotion,
or possibly a dismissal. All infractions must be reported
and recorded. Once an infraction in noted, it shows
that an unsafe practice or condition has existed. This
may be the result of poor planning or improper training
and instructing. The reason for the infraction should be
analyzed in order to take corrective action.
Supervisor Training
It should be the responsibility of management to instruct
their supervisors on safety, giving job instructions,
supervising operators, determining accident causes, and
building safety attitudes among the machine operators.
Accidents can occur due to inadequate training of
supervisors.
Operator Training
It shall be the responsibility of management to insure
proper training of operators. A specifi c training program
should be instituted to instruct the operator in safety,
proper usage of the equipment, and correct operational
procedure in performing each and every job. In addition
to the supervisor, the operator should be familiar with the
proper guarding of the point of operation. Never permit
an operator to start a job without complete instructions
from his immediate supervisor.
