“Chance”

Make Safety Personal!  Accept responsibility for your actions and choices.  Every action, every decision you make has consequences.  Make better choices.  Everybody’s luck runs out, eventually! 

STOP taking chances!  STOP cutting corners! 

Make Time for Safety…You’re Worth It!

 You owe your family and co-workers that much!

Chance

By Safety Wayne


I took Chance to work today…

His friends are all injured or dead

 

When I asked him why he cut corners

‘Cause safety is for fools’, he said

 

He seemed nice enough, but he’s tricky

And he can cost you dearly in the end

 

One thing I know for certain…

This Chance guy is not your friend

 

We were working on a belt conveyor

But the tool we needed was back in the shop.

 

I was going to run and fetch it until Chance said…

‘We’ll never get done if you have to stop’.

 

‘Grab the pry bar and I’ll give it a whack

It’s OK we’ll just force that thing back!’

 

Well, the bar moved as that old hammer struck

I found out listening to Chance was relying on Luck.

 

Now my hand is all swollen and awfully sore too

I hope something like this never happens to you

 

Yeah, I took Chance to work today

And luckily I’m only injured not dead!

 

Tomorrow I’m going to Play it Smart

I think I’ll take Safety instead!
