The Safest Person
Ask yourself this question, “Who is the safest person I know?” Did you name someone you used to work with or perhaps someone you work with now? Many people do. The answer should be, “me.” If you can’t say you are the safest person you know, then you might want to think about what it means to make safety a personal thing.

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfil today and I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or I can be glad that my finances...

Of the many stories that came out of NASA’s Apollo space program, one of the favourites is the story about the janitor who upon being asked by a reporter what his job was in the organization replied “I’m helping to put a man on the Moon”. Now, whether this story is true or not doesn’t really matter as it exemplifies the general sentiment shared by everyone involved in that project; that...

Consider this statistic: 80 out of every 100 accidents are someone’s fault, usually the person involved in the incident. “Unsafe acts cause four times as many accidents and injuries as unsafe conditions.”
Accidents occur for many reasons. Unfortunately, too many employees and supervisors tend to look for “things,” or excuses to blame the accident on, instead of looking for the root...

Bernie Inman, a former energy company engineering employee who became a quadriplegic following an on-the job accident in 1994, warned that workplace accidents with grave consequences can arise from seemingly simple circumstances.
