Many companies expect managers to enforce safety rules and procedures. Consequently, employees tend to rely on managers to ensure safe behavior rather than look out for each other.

In shared workplaces like the constmction site in this case, appliance of the same safety rules and procedures regardless of contractor would benefit all. fir this work situation during lunch break, the installation workers stepped aside to give room to pass when workers carrying the boards entered the landing. So despite the hazard, the mentality was more everyone takes care of his/her own work rather than safe working together . When all workers on a site know and follow the mles and procedures, the evolvement of a safety hazard into a serious accident can be stopped before it is too late. 

Kapp (2012) noted that safety-related behaviour includes a range of activities performed by individuals to maintain a safe workplace and it involves the actions of individuals ensuring that they comply with established safety rules and procedures as well as involving positive changes in worker behaviour.

It is a well-known fact that no one wants ideas forced down their throats. We as humans naturally resist change—but we have a tendency to support ideas that we help to develop and implement. Employees who are allowed to participate in the development and implementation of safety rules and procedures have more of a personal stake in making sure that these rules are followed [7].

In spite of some of the most rigorous, well-conceived safety rules and procedures ever put together, boiler and pressure vessel accidents continue to occur. In 1980, for example, the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors reported 1972 boiler and pressure vessel accidents, 108 injuries and 22 deaths. The pressure vessel explosions are of course rare nowadays and are often caused by incorrect operation or poorly monitored corrosion. Safety in boiler and pressure vessels can be achieved by ...

Inspect all bed frames, side rails, and mattresses as part of the preventive maintenance procedures. Ensure proper bed alignment and that no gap exists wide enough to entrap a patient. Never replace mattresses and side rails with dimensions different than the original equipment supplied by the manufacturer. Check bedside rails for proper installation using manufacturer s instructions. Establish safety rules and procedures for patients considered at high risk for entrapment. Use bedside rail protectors to close off open spaces which could lead to entrapment. Never use bedside rails as a patient protective restraint. Use of restraints requires frequent monitoring and compliance with... 

With these considerations, we need to continue to invest time and money toward continuous improvement of the safety and health environment. We expect employees to assist with these efforts by obeying the safety rules and procedures outlined in this safety manual. If you only protect one employee or family member from having to deal with the pain and suffering caused by a workplace incident then all the efforts in safety are worth it. However, you will protect more people than you could imagine in your time when working toward a safe and healthful work environment.

(1966) study of compliance with safety rules and procedures, the relative perception of risk of a sample of risky behaviours was compared across a range of job categories. Table 7.2 summarises the results of this relative ranking for one risky scenario (guard jumps onto a moving train).
