Case Study

Evaluating a Safety Intervention

Read the following scenario and then answer the question that follows.

Scenario: A busy commercial kitchen has experienced several minor burn incidents over the past month. The incidents consistently occur during the evening rush when employees are deep-frying food. The kitchen manager observes that employees sometimes forget to use the proper long-handled tongs and splash guards because they are rushing. In response, the manager holds a meeting and emphatically tells the staff, "You all need to be more careful and remember to use the safety equipment every single time."

Question: Evaluate the manager's response as a method for improving safety. Justify your evaluation and propose a more structured, reliable method to ensure the correct safety procedures are followed consistently, explaining why your proposed method is likely to be more effective.
