Default Well, what did you expect?

As someone who was the safety officer at a big US corporation, the
biggest problem is making the employees actually follow the safety
procedures. My wife had a similar problem in the construction
industry.

The direction has to come from the top. Employees are quick to catch
on whether or not senior management is serious about safety
procedures. If not, corners will be cut where it is convenient to do
so. I worked for AT&T and other Bell System companies for a short
time back in the 60s and the company left no doubt in anyones mind
about the seriousness of safety procedures. Training and awareness
were constant, and violations were dealt with quickly and firmly.
That's what it takes.
