Recommendations for the employees of John Plum factory

Safety is very important factor for all the employees and no matter what this is the responsibility of the CEO to make sure that nothing wrong happens to their employees. So here are some of the recommendations that can work to make sure about the safety of employees in an organization. Improving and then maintaining the safety culture is one long and difficult process but this doesn’t mean it’s not possible at all. It is possible. Here are some of the recommendations which can make sure that all of the employees in an organization are under safe organization and nothing to worry about.

Train all the employees in best ways:

Training needs to be given to all the employees and this training can be comprehensive and it is must to make sure for preventing the injury in workplace. This is the duty of CEO to ensure that all of the employees have an access to and complete all of the different safety trainings at their position. (Petitta, 2017)

Rewarding employees for maintain the safe behavior:

Rewards are one of the easy way for encouraging the safety in a workplace. Giving small rewards to the different employees who follows different kind of the policies keeps them engaged completely and through this, it can make sure that no major injuries takes place in a factory of John Plum. Obviously he don’t have enough of the time to look after the employees all the time so this is one best method for the employees through which they can make sure to follow all the rules and procedures. By these kind of small rewards, other employees would also get motivated to follow the same line.

Using different kind of the labels and signs:

Labels and signs are considered to be the cheap as well as an effective way to communicate quickly for any kind of the important information. These signs are mostly simple and all of the information completely relies on pictures to the detailed hazards along with the proper different procedures as well. All these tools are known to be the good reminders along with the warning as well for the new as well as the experienced workers too. By looking at the labels and signs they would definitely be able to follow all such rules and there would be no chance that they would forget to follow the safety culture rules in an organization for any moment. (Biddison, 2016)

By making sure all of the things are being kept safe and clean:

Any kind of the messy work place ultimately becomes the cause or reason of all the unnecessary accidents. This is also the duty of different employees to make sure they don’t stack up all the things together but they should make them organized and look clean. They should make sure that all of the boxes are being stacked up properly and spills are also being cleaned up quickly as soon as possible. For the safety culture of the employees in an organization, John Plum being the CEO of the organization should make sure to conduct the inspection on regular basis to look for any kind of the potential danger like tangled cords, disorganized tools and the messy floors. There are many different programs also available like 5S that gives all of the beneficial improvements in the organization that can further lead towards the reduced cluster. (Roughton, 2019)

Make sure that all of the employees have right tools along with the regular equipment for the inspection purpose:

All of the right tools along with the right equipment also helps in creating a better product along with the safe work environment as well. It is very important for the culture safety that all the tools are being cleaned up properly, they get serviced and being inspected as well on regular basis. Machine malfunctions are the one that are considered to be the most hazardous in workplace.

Encouraging for the stretch breaks:

Stretch breaks are considered to be the easy as well as an important thing for the maintenance of culture safety in an organization for the employees and their health or safety. These breaks also help them to become active and gain stamina to overcome different situations or how to react in those situations in an effective way. (French, 2017)

Implementing of the safety protocols from the beginning:

Culture safety for any of the organization starts from the very first day. This means to hire all of the qualified people who can pay attention to each and every detail. Workplace can become safe with the different employees who follow up the different safety requirements and performing their jobs according to all of the established procedures. John Plum no doubt has made all of the protocols but I believe that by giving strict orders to follow the rules for the safety of employees should have been given from the day 1. But still it’s better to start than never, he should now made different kind of the actions for the employees to for sure follow all the orders and procedures that are related to the safety of the employees along with the whole organization as well.

Establishment of the C-level buy in:

Establishment of CEO support for the safety programs is the mission control. Effectiveness of this program will ultimately get improved by the whole support of the team. As soon as the support from the C-level gets communicated to different levels of the organization, one can have the attention and the resources as well for the developing of a best program.

Try to have meeting on regular intervals:

Meetings are very important part to get interacted with the employees and to know about their activity that what are they doing and are they following the different procedures accurately or not? Regular meetings are very important to review about all of the different safety rules and discuss about the different preventative measures to avoid any kind of the major accident that can make things complicated further on. To avoid any mishap it’s better to take all the precautions and follow them appropriately before things get worse. Everyone should be aware how to follow different protocols of safety and as working in the same environment it becomes the duty of other person to look after the colleagues and be helpful to them in every situation.

So these were few of the recommendations to make sure that employees of John Plum factory don’t face any major accident as he is busy and can’t keep an eye on their activities all the time. But he should have a complete inspection on regular intervals or else employees start losing interest in following the safety measures
