My biggest issue is finding food/beverages in the dirty utility room. We took pictures of the most blatent violators and showed them during a management luncheon. That got their attention. We also require a department to pay any potential OSHA fine for safety items that they have direct control over. This appears to be an issue that all of us may have.

We did a pictorial of the problems we found (some pretty ugly) with food and drink in areas it should not be. We showed the pictures to our large management meeting during a lunch meeting. It got the point across. We also have a policy that if a department gets an OSHA fine for a safety issue that they had total control over, they pay the fine.
