You need to engrain a culture of safety so that all personnel are thinking first of safe practices even if a procedure is not formally spelled out. Management has to sign off on such a culture and allow shutdowns of individual processes if they are unsafe, even if that means halting production. Staff has to be invested in the safety culture. Having a safety committee is highly recommended as safe practices will come from all over the organization. Mandatory time has to be set aside for safety meetings and to generate organizational safety procedures.

In one job, I greatly benefited from having a safety committee comprised of people from multiple levels. This encouraged education and awareness of safety along with safety ownership. We all "own" it. We also did safety walk-throughs weekly to inspect for unsafe conditions and to check that safety equipment was present. This helps those involved to keep their eyes open and keep safety always visible. Safety is not just procedures or classes, it is a day-day check and balance.
