Understanding Complacency’s Toll on Workplace Safety [Video]

Accidents can be prevented if you avoid the slippery slope of comfort. Here’s what we mean ⬇️

Consider a manufacturing plant where employees operate machinery. Initially, everyone is diligent about safety procedures, wearing protective gear, and following protocols.

But over time, as days go by without any accidents, complacency creeps in. Employees start skipping safety checks, assuming everything will always go smoothly.

Then, one day, a small oversight leads to a serious injury. The culprit? Complacency. This occurs everyday in the workplace and recently at a manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, a worker suffered the loss of his index finger while performing the routine task of installing brass grommets into fabric material.

The task had been completed before thousands of times without incident.

Stay ahead by implementing safety trainings and procedures. Read more about how to break the complacency cycle here: https://bit.ly/4d7PdOa
