2. Seek Support: Reach out to other safety professionals, HR, or legal advisors within your organization for support and guidance.
3. Communicate Clearly: Explain the importance of safety protocols to the management in a clear and concise manner. Use data and examples to illustrate your points.
4. Document Everything: Keep detailed records of the safety issues, including dates, times, and specific incidents where safety protocols were not followed.
5. Report to Regulatory Authorities: If all internal avenues have been exhausted and there is a serious risk to safety, consider reporting the issue to the relevant regulatory authorities.
