Why do you think that is?
Karl Bamforth pretty much sums up the reason perfectly -
Because they don't understand it mostly.
Almost everyone who has done the study or training for SMS can see how it helps. The only ones I ever hear complain are the ones that don't understand.
I include myself in that, I thought it was bollocks and complicated too until I went out of my way to get a full understanding. Now I got the jist and its easy and effective to use.
Yep it takes a few days to implement but after that probably less than an hour a month and it does improve safety.
People often fear what they dont know. Most organisations simply think $$$ when they are told they are going to have doing something new or different as part of their business.Some people revert to scare mongering simply because they dont like 'change'.
SMS saves an organisation a lot of money long term.
