Basically, the challenge is how do we get people to make the lower risk decision when nobody is looking and free will is the biggest influence in the room. This means effectively influencing employees to act with the core values and expectations communicated to them from their leadership when they have the choice to take safe action or look the other way. The key is utilizing a page from the playbook of social media platforms and consumer influence and apply this to safety management to influence behavior and decision making. If Starbucks can influence millions of people to stop for a coffee because they watched their friend check into Starbucks on Facebook, then we can use the same concept to drive employees to take safe actions to mitigate risks or hazards with social influence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT WESLEY WITT<\/strong><br \/>\nWesley is currently the director of the quality management and environmental health &amp; safety for Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Service North America.
