What can you do?

Empower frontline employees.

- Let employees perform safety/housekeeping checklists alongside management so they know what to look for.

- Have employees inspect departments other than their own.

Don’t forget sometimes:

”You can’t see the forest because of the trees”

Three mottos

• Three Safety/Housekeeping Mottos to live by:

1) “ If you see it, you own it.”

2) “If you walk by it, you condone it.”

3) “What’s wrong with this picture?”

-Take or stage photos of unsafe situations and have your employees identify the hazards.

-Trains people to look for the right things. -Can make it a game and reward with prizes.

-Examples:
