A bad day on the shop floor isn’t only a day with an accident. It’s also the day people take small risks, or put production ahead of safety.
In Episode 2 of Safe Hands, we walk the floor at Domoplex with General Manager Michalis Vrahimis. He spent 10+ years in pharmaceutical manufacturing and is now a PhD candidate in occupational safety and health. We talk about what a good day really looks like, why workers skip their PPE, and why safety systems fail when they lose touch with the people on the floor.
In this episode:
00:00 Meet Michalis Vrahimis
00:32 What a good day (and a bad day) looks like on the floor
01:45 Why even hearing about accidents changes your mindset
03:05 Why workers skip their PPE, and how to fix it
04:39 Advice for managers: safety is not a paperwork exercise
Key takeaways:
• Safety is a daily operational habit, not paperwork
• Workers skip PPE because of discomfort, heat and humidity, and underestimating the risk
• Keep the worker in the loop when you design safety systems
Safe Hands is a series by Senera on industrial readiness, with conversations from the factory floor about keeping people safe.
