When a manager or employee is doing something that can cause harm or pose a threat to them or their co-workers, higher management must step in. Unsafe or dangerous situations are not the time or place where an employee can ‘learn from their mistakes’. When you step in, provide advice and coaching that can lead them to the correct solution. Don’t tell them the answer or solution flat out – allow the employee to choice the best solution from the options given. When everyone is safe and out of harm’s way, speak with the employee and ensure that they understand why their actions or behavior is inappropriate. Follow with appropriate consequences based on company policy.
