3 E's and why focusing on the people side is necessary Answer: 1) Engineering
solutions - safer work environments, safer equipment, and personal protective
equipment
2) Education - of supervisors and employees
3) Enforcement of regulations and practices -through supervision and
consequences
, Focusing on the people side is necessary bc effective safety programs depend on
individual skills, abilities and motivation to work safely - which are not adequately
covered by the three E's. Enforcement only creates compliance - not a willingness
to be proactive in creating a safe workplace. Variables such as safety leadership
and safety climate are predictors of safety outcomes. Other important people
influences are job design, high performance work systems, job security, work
scheduling, work overload, lean manufacturing, and pay for performance systems.
Any of these can support safety or work against it.
