We had an incident recently where there was a big boom, followed by the inevitable "prairie dogging," and seeing no fire and no one staggering out into the hall, and no one called for emergency response. They didn't think they had "permission" or that they didn't need to because their safety manager (me - who was on vacation, BTW) would take care of it. We have some re-training to do, too.

Empowerment is probably just as valuable as the safety programs themselves.
