Before you plan your next safety meeting, ask yourself if your intent is to scare your workers into compliance. Do you want them to be afraid, or to get them to voluntarily buy-in to safety as a personal value?
Accidents don't happen in the safety manager's office. They happen in the field. That's where the management of safety must take place. High safety performance doesn't magically come about in organized safety meetings, although good safety meetings are part of the solution. Safety performance happens when you deal with safety issues, decisions and behaviors one on one.
