The HR department at Clearwater Electronics, in conjunction with the company’s safety and health office, is developing a new safety training program that will be required for all production personnel. A pilot program was tested on a group of employees from one of the lines, and the trainers believed everything went well. After the training, line managers were asked to conduct safety observations four times a shift to gauge training success via increased safety behaviors. However, just a week after the training, one of the line managers reported that employees had left several tools out overnight instead of putting them away properly, something that was specifically covered in the training. The trainers reviewed the safety program and determined that an additional evaluation element, a contract plan, would help the employees remember and practice the safety techniques they learned in the training. Why would a contract plan be an effective way to ensure increased compliance with the safety training? With a contract plan, the participants determine what they will do and prepare a document to share with their line manager. With a contract plan, the participants determine what constitutes safe behavior in their situation and agree verbally to abide by that determination. With a contract plan, the participants determine who on the line is responsible for safety and report any safety violations to that person. With a contract plan, the participants determine what new skills and behaviors need to be applied on the job, write a statement, and are held accountable to another person to demonstrate compliance.
