Ensuring workers wear the right PPE for the task at the right time is essential to keeping them safe – but it's not always easy. The solution might just lie in nudge theory, an approach that makes the right choice feel like the easiest one.
The beauty of nudge theory lies in its clever approach and respect for individual autonomy to suggest a better course of action. The theory suggests that subtle changes in the environment can influence human behaviour and decision-making in a positive way – that individuals can be encouraged to make better safety choices (like wearing PPE) by altering the way options are presented to them, rather than imposing rules or heavy-handed restrictions.
Here are some actionable ways nudge theory can be applied to encourage PPE compliance at your workplace.
