When it comes to Safety….it really is up to you!
The best safety program in the world – cannot keep you safe unless you heed the warnings, recognise the hazards, and follow the rules.
The most experienced safety manager – cannot get you home at the end of the day, unless you take an active role in the safety program.
Your Supervisor can only do so much – he/she cannot wear your PPE for you and they cannot be with you every step of the day!
You have to make the conscious decision to put on the PPE and work safely!
90% is not enough! You must follow the rules 100% of the time (at home, at work, and at play). If you don’t there is a possibility for injury.
Home hazards! Your chances of getting hurt at home are 5 to 6 times greater than they are of getting hurt at work.
Home injuries are costly! Workers Compensation does not cover home injuries. All the more reason to follow sound safety practices at home and remember: your children are watching and learning from you!
PPE 24/7 Helmets are a good idea for bikes, motorcycles, skate boarding, etc.
Hearing protection while mowing the yard or using power tools can help save your hearing.
Safety glasses should be worn for any activities to protect your eyes and tinted ones improve your vision on sunny days.
Wear gloves, to avoid hand injuries, and don’t forget fall protection can save your life
Drive Safely and Drive Sober!
We can talk safety all we want…but it is Up to YOU to WALK the WALK! YOU are the Safety Program!
Safety…it really is UP TO YOU
