You pay an expert consultant rather than trying to scrape expertise from-exposure-desperate narcissists and bot accounts, then parroting it via AI as "expertise". If I'm one of the few experts qualified to answer, then pay me, instead of spending half your connection bandwidth trying to make me pay for this cesspit of self-aggrandisation and spam, then trying to get the knowledge I earned for free.

When dealing with pushback on safety guidelines, I try to understand where the concerns are coming from and explain why the guidelines are important. I keep the conversation open and collaborative, addressing any misunderstandings and working together to find solutions that make sense for everyone while keeping safety a priority.

Receiving workplace criticism, and particularly on safety, is challenging, yet it helps in opening communication. To begin with, give the reasons for having a protocol, making sure that it is a point of safety for everyone. Bring forth not only the obvious advantages and cons of change but also comfort with another's point of view. Promoting participation by asking opinions or suggestions and treating colleagues as your value-adding partners. Commend the good results like physical well-being and effectivity. Lead by way of setting a good example by complying with the rules yourself. Trust is built and a friendly approach to safety has a great impact on collaboration and compliance of course.

Safety starts with me... Start every meeting/session with safety contact ( one example of situation-possible lapse-safety tips) and ensure that before pointing out lapses in the PPE, work environment always appreciate the efforts of the colleagues.

Ask them to think of the times that they have slipped, tripped, dropped something, cut themselves, etc . We all make mistakes. We just want the best outcomes for everybody.

Start by involving the team in reviewing and refining the guidelines, fostering ownership and buy-in. Clearly communicate the why, emphasizing how these measures protect everyone’s well-being. Show tangible benefits, such as improved working conditions or incident prevention, to highlight their value. Address concerns openly, listening to feedback and responding with empathy and facts. Finally, be patient, understanding that change takes time, but remain consistent in reinforcing the importance of safety measures.

In my workplace, I would address pushback by ensuring these steps are followed: clearly explaining the protocols’ value, modeling the behavior myself, and maintaining an open-door policy for discussion. By taking the time to explain, model, and listen, resistance can be minimized, and trust can be built.

Safety isn’t just a rule; it is the foundation of trust and efficiency, especially in an industry where visibility is everything. When there is pushback on safety guidelines, I do not just talk about rules, I show why they matter. Real-time dashcam footage of near-misses and incidents makes the risks real, turning skepticism into awareness. Leading by example, addressing concerns openly, and gamifying safety, like rewarding the safest driver or most vigilant employee, helps turn compliance into a habit. The goal is not to enforce rules but to create a culture where safety is seen as a competitive edge, not a constraint. After all, a clear road ahead starts with the right perspective.

In this case, I try to find the victims and those who didn’t follow those safety protocols. Then, I will ask and invite them to our company where our employees and colleagues can meet them. Subsequently, I will request them to tell their story about not following the safety guidelines which has caused them those consequences and even disability. By this action, everyone will notice that overlooking safety protocols brings real serious issues and problems for themselves and/or the entire company.
