Follow-up and Enforcement

Another important aspect of an effective program is maintaining the program s success. One way to do this is through follow-ups and the enforcement of safety policies. 

Follow-up involves identifying any obstruction to the removal of hazards. If a hazard is not carefully eliminated, it is bound to appear again to cause problems. Areas of concern must be addressed using a follow-up protocol. 

Enforcement is another crucial area of the motor fleet employee safety program. Everyone in the organization must take the program seriously. One minor instance of insubordination can be the catalyst to destroy all the hard work it took to get the program moving toward its goals. Enforcement of policy statements must be visible to everyone to send the message that safety is as important as production.
