Evalu-8 has been featured in Industrial Compliance in an article about five health and safety breaches that could cost someone their job.
Published on 30 July 2025, “5 Health and Safety Breaches That Could Cost You Your Job” includes comments from Josh McNicholas at Evalu-8 EHS.
Safety rules can feel routine, especially when someone has done the same job for years. But choosing to ignore them can put colleagues at risk and lead to disciplinary action.
The article looks at refusing to wear the right personal protective equipment, including situations where workers may be tempted to remove gloves, helmets or safety boots because they’re uncomfortable. It also covers failing to report hazards or near misses. If a problem goes unreported, the next person might not know it’s there.
Josh also addresses using machinery without training, interfering with safety equipment and attending work under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Each can have consequences well beyond the individual involved.
There is a responsibility on employers too. Staff need clear instructions, training and equipment that is appropriate for the work. They also need a straightforward way to report concerns without wondering whether anyone will act on them.
For managers, it’s worth checking whether the rules people are expected to follow match what happens during a shift. Problems are easier to address when they’re raised early.
Evalu-8 EHS helps businesses record incidents, manage training records and track actions after safety concerns have been reported, so teams can see what still needs sorting out.
