The Biological Basis of Complacency

Complacency is often attributed to an employee’s mental or emotional state, so the advice for tackling it often revolves around reminding employees to think about what they’re doing or creating a better safety culture so employees won’t take any shortcuts to begin with. It’s advice that relies heavily on fixing employees’ sense of responsibility and attention to details. This presentation reviews the neurological process that leads to complacency, shares the results of a survey of OSH professionals on the scope of complacency in their organizations, and reveals what OSH professionals say has actually worked for them in reducing the prevalence of complacency in their organization.

Making Sense of Current Hand Protection Standards

According to the most recent data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were over 121,800 hours lost on the jobsite in 2017 due to hand injuries. For those who seek medical treatment for these types of injuries, it can cost an average of $22,384. Within these cases, 70% of the hand injuries occurred when users were not wearing gloves to protect themselves while working. While hand injuries are some of the most common injuries on jobsites, they are also some of the most preventable. There are multiple factors that need to be considered when protecting your hands; cut-resistance, impact-resistance, and back-of-hand protection at the forefront.
