On this week’s episode of Dynamic Discussions, Greg and David give us some tips and pointers on improving employee compliance. Compliance starts with the management and ownership team of the company to create a safety culture amongst employees. Educate employees about the consequences to themselves and the employer if their job isn’t done safely. If you’re the Competent Person on your jobsite, you should know your who Authorized Persons are and make sure they are representing that position fully. If you understand your requirements, train workers on those requirements, and show up to make sure the first two are being done, you will see huge improvements. Your employees will wear their fall protection!

In the guide to the reasons your crew doesn’t wear their fall protection, we have identified five distinct reasons and offer up advice on how to help avoid running into those problems in the future.
Part two of the initiative to help perfect the fall protection plan, is in a guide this guide where we have identified the three things you can do to improve compliance immediately. “The purpose of this series isn’t to call out one particular person or group responsible for the non-compliance with fall protection precautions, but rather to educate readers on the potential obstacles in their way and offer many solutions to educate and improve safety overall.”
The three key things that you can implement right now to improve Fall Protection compliance on your jobsite are:
