Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing on-the-job coaching in health and safety by supervisors is the most effective way to help employees understand the organization's health and safety rules as it allows for real-time feedback and correction of behavior. This approach is also in line with the SaFE program's emphasis on peer-to-peer safety, where colleagues provide constructive feedback to each other during a shift. While distributing an employee training manual or ensuring access to online health and safety regulations are important resources, they may not be as effective in conveying the importance of safety rules and encouraging the adoption of safe behaviors as direct coaching and feedback from a supervisor. Posting signs about Workers' Compensation laws may also be helpful, but it only addresses one specific aspect of health and safety and may not be enough to ensure comprehensive compliance with all safety regulations.
