Laws, standards... even common sense does not matter. Too many times the motivation for change... motivation to even care, is born out of the reality that an accident creates for the worker who is injured, their family, the co-workers, the company, the management, and the monetary and legal liabilities all experienced. Why? This is not rocket science. We have all heard the saying; "too late to close the barn doors after the horses got out". The bigger the company, the more likely they have experienced the "horses getting out". That's why sometimes the larger companies have more aggressive training programs. I agree with what was said about personal responsibility. It is absolutely key to changing behavior. Until people involved in making decisions (management) about how much effort or money they put into their safety training starts to feel more personal responsibility for their co-workers... compromises in training will continue. And that is just sad.
