6 fundamental elements of a good safety attitude that can direct safer work habits.
Awareness:
- Pay attention. Stay alert to the possible hazards in your work environment so that you can take steps to correct or guard against them.
Focus:
- Concentrate on the task(s) at hand. Distractions, boredom or fatigue can lead to accidents and other safety hazards.
Strength:
- Have the strength to do the right thing even when it’s easier not to. Follow safety procedures and post orders completely, every time.
Patience:
- Take the time to do things correctly every time – like always buckling your seatbelt, even on quick trips. There are no shortcuts to safety.
Responsibility:
- Take responsibility for a safe work environment to benefit yourself and others.
Thought:
- Stop to think before you act. Accidents are not always the result of bad luck. They occur when someone decides – consciously or not – to take a chance. Be smart and avoid taking unnecessary risks.
THINK SAFETY… It’s the right Attitude!
