 We constantly demonstrate behaviors that are observable to others. In a workplace, these observations are significant for preventing accidents and injuries and need to be encouraged, supported and taken seriously. Co-workers are critical to the implementation and success of observation, feedback and safe work practices. Peer-to-peer observations are a "brother's keeper" approach that will produce many positive benefits including maximizing the potential of a safe workplace.
