The inspection nobody resents is often the one after everybody has understood the risk.

Checks feel like distrust until the reason for them is visible. Before anything has gone wrong, an inspection reads as bureaucracy imposed on people who know their jobs; after a near miss, the same inspection reads as obvious sense and nobody argues. Nothing about the check changed. What changed is that the risk became imaginable, and the cost of the procedure stopped looking bigger than the thing it prevents.

If you are asking people to follow a check, spend your effort explaining the failure rather than the rule. And if a check irritates you, it is worth finding out what happened that put it there.
