Reducing Unsafe Acts of Office Employees

(10 min.) In addition to complying with OSHA, an effective safety program requires 3 essentials: they're called the 3 E's: Education, Engineering, and Enforcement. The results of hundreds of thousands of investigations reveal that 85% to 98% of all accidents are caused in whole or in part by employee carelessness, negligence, or violating safety rules. For a safety program to be effective, safety rules must be enforced by management. Enforcing safety rules is a management responsibility, but working and acting safely including following safety rules is the employee''s responsibility.

Additional topics included in this video are: definitions of the 3 E''s, action options after an accident has occurred, the counseling form and ways to improve safety behavior.

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
