Problems:<br />

• Inform<strong>at</strong>ion (people do not read the signs and labels…)<br />

• Communic<strong>at</strong>ion (people do not communic<strong>at</strong>e their work)<br />

• Lack of Discipline and Organiz<strong>at</strong>ion (people are lazy & look for shortcuts)<br />

• Attitude: - people stick to the procedures and standards of the past<br />

- age problem: they are not ready to learn and to move on<br />

- think th<strong>at</strong> safety is their “enemy” and “fight” it<br />

- do not take safety seriously and include it in their daily routine<br />

Solutions:<br />

• practice the Integr<strong>at</strong>ed Safety Management (in your team)<br />

• dedic<strong>at</strong>e 20 min per day specifically to safety (do checks, assessment…)<br />

• contribute to the safety discussion in your (weekly) group meeting<br />

• be active: Do not wait for somebody to push you…<br />

• take responsibility: Your lab (coworkers) and the one “next door”<br />

• work on your <strong>at</strong>titude and discipline (safety is YOUR business)…<br />
