To ensure subcontractors adhere to safety protocols, I establish clear communication of expectations, provide thorough training, and conduct site-specific orientations. Furthermore, I implement regular inspections and safety meetings, designate safety officers for oversight, and create a system of incentives for compliance and penalties for violations. I usually encourage a culture of open reporting for unsafe conditions and continuously review and adapt safety measures based on feedback and incidents.

Em todos os projetos nos quais liderei, a equipe de segurança do trabalho realizava as reuniões com foco em segurança. Não obstante, após a mobilização dos funcionários, uma meta que os supervisores tinham era de realizar frequentemente as reuniões de DDS. Além de ser importante, gera insights nos colaboradores de como trabalhar de forma segura. Outro ponto que fui líder em termos de segurança da minha área de atuação, foi a implementação da observação de segurança, onde os próprios colaboradores da área observavam por 20 minutos, com consentimento da pessoa a ser observada, dos comportamentos da pessoa ao realizar as atividades. Após, era dado um feedback ao observado apontando os pontos de melhoria. Ótima ferramenta.

In my own personal experience, there has to be constant supervision to make sure that everyone is in compliance. Also there has to be repercussions for non-compliance. Until we can get a whole jobsite of contractors and subs to engage in a culture of safety, it will be this way!
