Many safety programs fail not because people don’t care, but because the systems are too hard to use. This white paper explores how administrative friction, overcomplicated processes and poor design quietly undermine safety adoption and compliance. Drawing on decades of real-world experience implementing safety systems, Wombat Safety Software outlines a practical way to identify where friction exists in your current program and what to simplify first. Readers will gain clear, actionable insight into designing safety processes that fit real work and actually get used.
