Scenario: A real case with little edit. An EHS guy was angry by frequent violations of contractors. The day when he had a safety walk to a building construction site, he found that workers stopped their job on scaffold with hook of safety belt in hands. He asked them down to the ground and told them as below: I know you do not use your safety belt, that is the reason why you have the hook in hands. I have asked you lot of time to correct. I hope all of you can cooperate with me to complete the job safely. The workers nodded with silence and promised to correct. Then the professional left. Welcome your discussion on this EHS professionals' method.

Not my style. I would have asked the site management why he/she was not working safely. It is his/her job to make sure (through delegation if need be) that all people working for him/her do so safely. The approach described has cut the site management out of the issue.
