- Survey: Some workers fail to wear protective
equipment
Noncompliance
with protocols related to personal protective equipment continues
to be a problem in the workplace, with 87% of safety professionals
in a range of fields surveyed saying they had seen instances in
which workers failed to wear required protective equipment. A
majority of those who had observed this noncompliance -- 62% --
said they were most often told that the equipment was
uncomfortable to wear. The workers also reported believing the
equipment was unnecessary for the task, that it made them too
warm, that it fit poorly or that it was unattractive looking. Modern Distribution Management (1/8)

- Trust is bottom line in offering best company
policies
Trust
and employer-employee partnerships are the positive factors that
stick out when considering the differences between the best and
worst business policies. Voluntary programs that involve employees
making their own decisions, for instance, will likely go a lot
further in boosting worker morale -- and loyalty -- than ones that
are provided to workers as part of a mandatory program. BusinessWeek (1/7)
