In regards to THIS thread:
Sometimes while patrolling we have to go places employees usually shouldn't go. In today's case it's an isle with items stacked so high that employees shouldn't be in there on-foot if ride-on equipment is being used.
So they provided big orange barricades to pull across the isle, indicating employees are on-foot, keeping the equipment out until you're done.
I was patrolling that isle so I pulled the barricades and started checking things. I turn around and here's a guy getting off his ride-on machine, pulling the barricade away, and driving on through towards me.
I asked him what he was doing and told him what the new rule was. He made an excuse about how people are forgetting and leaving the barricades up after they're finished so they just ride on through anyway. I let my manager and the safety supervisors know that this is becoming an acceptable thing. I would have appreciated him at least call-out to ask if anyone was working in there.
They had a talk with the employees.
