Can you provide an example of a situation where you had to enforce safety procedures and how you handled it?

During a previous role as a Safety Officer, there was a situation where a contractor on site was not wearing the required personal protective equipment (PPE) while working with hazardous chemicals. It was vital to enforce safety procedures to prevent any potential accidents or injuries.

I approached the contractor in a calm and professional manner, reminding them of the importance of wearing the necessary PPE for their safety. I explained the risks involved and the potential consequences of not following the safety protocols. I then provided the contractor with the correct PPE and ensured they understood how to use it properly.

By enforcing the safety procedures in a proactive and educational manner, I was able to mitigate the risks and ensure compliance with safety regulations on site.
