At Safety Bo Coaching & Consulting LLC, we look for the normalization of deviance.
Leading organizations know they need to have external people assess their safety procedures, and then see if they're accurate and whether people are following them.
The deviations are typically not a result of malice in any way from a worker. Many factors contribute to workers deviating from set procedures, including production pressure, culture, inadequate environmental design, and leadership. these all play a role in how people tackle what's given to them to do. Usually, this is done to either improve production or to just get the work done.
