You matter to me my friend and I hope I matter to you
If either of us gets injured we’ll both be feeling blue.
Sometimes workers are tired as they perform their daily task,
If you saw them cut corners, you’d speak up, right? Sorry, I had to ask.
And if you were to see co-workers rushing to get a task done,
Would you dare to Speak Up before they hurt someone!
You know, when I get frustrated I may forget to do things right,
So if you see me taking short cuts please intervene, I want to make it home tonight!
Complacency is different animal, we often miss this one in ourselves you see,
This is what’s going on when we’re thinking it won’t happen to me!
Safety is a team effort, heck it really has to be
It takes me looking out for you and you watching out for me.
Why? …Because we’re human, which means we all make mistakes…
To reduce our chances of injury, teamwork is what it takes!
So, if everyone accepts the responsibility and commits to working toward success
We’ll all have each other’s backs and we won’t have to guess!
Then, when we make it safely home, each night, at the end of the day.
We should all be grateful to those with whom we work to earn our pay.
We need to be there, each and every day, for each other,
Nobody wants to lose a son, a daughter, father, mother, sister or brother!
If you see an unsafe condition or an at-risk behavior, Stand up and Speak out for Safety… you may be the only one to recognize the hazard. Every single one of us has the God given ability to make a difference. Whether or not you actually do or not… is up to you! Choose to get involved in people’s lives… isn’t that why we are here?
