For all of you out there involved in behavior based safety, I have a TRICK QUESTION for you… Is it easier to convince people to AVOID an UNSAFE ACT or is it easier to get them to COMMIT a SAFE ACT? I ask this because I am trying to figure out a plan of attack for a particular unsafe act called “texting while driving”. As I sit here and think about what all is involved...

A little dark safety humor…
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
