5 Signs Your Worksite Needs a Safety Tune-Up
Safety programs aren’t “set it and forget it.” If your business has been running on the same safety protocols for years without updates or feedback, you might be overdue for a tune-up. Here are five common warning signs:
1. Near Misses Are Becoming Normal
If your team brushes off close calls instead of reporting them, it’s a sign they’re not taking safety seriously or worse, they’re unclear on what’s expected.
2. Training Is Outdated or Hard to Understand
If your training was built around outdated regulations or is only offered in one language, you’re missing the mark. Teams need clear, accessible instruction to stay compliant and safe.
3. Equipment Inspections Are Rushed
Sloppy documentation or skipped inspections increase risk and can become costly if an incident occurs. Safety tune-ups should include checklists that work for your crew in real life.
4. Injuries Are Happening for the Same Reasons
Recurring incidents are a red flag. They often point to gaps in understanding, insufficient procedures, or weak communication between leadership and workers.
5. Nobody Knows Where the Safety Binder Is
If your team can’t find the safety plan or doesn’t even know it exists your strategy isn’t working. A real plan lives on the floor, not just in a binder.
A quick audit or walkthrough from a trained eye can help you catch issues before they turn into bigger problems. At RTP, we help you get back on track without overcomplicating the process.
