All are great points, but in some industries and contexts, it is important the safety protocols are developed from the ground up, instead of the top-down, to ensure their sustainability. We already know that expertise lies with those end-users working in the frontline, i.e. at the sharp end of risk. These operators have, over years of experience, have not only developed the necessary know-how and ability to deal with daily challenges, but also store a set of 'reserve solutions' that they can call upon if required. That is a different way of driving safe operations amidst everyday challenges and threats. The protocols can still be finalised and published in a top-down manner, but end-user flexibility will ensure better utilisation and usage.

Clear Communication to provide all staff with easy access to safe work procedures, either by digital or physical form. Training and regularly scheduled refresher training. This is to confirm staff are aware of hazards and controls associated with specific tasks. Ensuring that gaps in the system are identified and corrected During shift changes, use standardized checklists, tools, or other electronic systems to ensure no critical information is overlooked or missed.  Safety Audits and employee consultation. Safety audits can be performed with team meetings to improve safety at all levels. Strong, collaborative leadership ensures that safety is prioritized. Management teams should work with their employees in a spirit of consultation.

Clear, standardized guidelines are the key.Ongoing training, mock drills, and competency assessments are essential to keep staff well-prepared, accountable and consistent. Leadership plays a key role so they must model adherence to protocols and assign dedicated safety teams with resources to oversee compliance and must support their initiatives Open communication and feedback loops encourage staff to report concerns and suggest improvements, fostering a culture of safety across.

To ensure consistent safety protocols across shifts in healthcare, consider implementing real-time digital handover logs. These logs allow staff to document safety updates, patient risks, and procedural changes in a centralised system accessible to all shifts. This approach is valuable because it ensures seamless communication, reducing the risk of critical safety information being lost during shift changes. In workplace safety, digital handover logs enhance accountability and continuity, enabling healthcare teams to stay informed and aligned. By integrating real-time updates, you create a proactive safety culture that minimises errors and maintains high patient care standards across all shifts.

Primeiramente é ter procedimentos, que os mesmos seja factíveis depois torna-los conhecidos, fazer com que as equipes saibam sua importância através de treinamentos. Ter auditorias frequentes e liderança engajada.
