The word safety refers to your freedom from danger, injury and damage, and to your personal security. The word safety has been used so often that many of you may think of it as a “Preaching Word”, or a word that forces you to alter your ways or change bad habits.
Instead, when you hear the word safety, think of it as a word that applies to the way you do everything in life. Think of it as a procedure to keep you from harm.
For example: If your driving safely, you’re simply operating your vehicle as intended and obeying the laws, no more, no less. If you’re working with a power tool that requires eye protection, don’t fight it. Safety glasses are simply a necessary accessory to the proper use of that tool. If you’re at home, take the time to use a ladder instead of standing on a chair that was made to sit on.
What Safety means
- Safety means a complete understanding of your work and knowledge of every step that must be taken (TSTI/AHA) and the realization that mistakes could be costly to yourself and to the company.
- Safety means good judgment. Never rely on luck; always be prepared to cope with unexpected situations and being alert when following your routine.
- Safety means consideration for the family that depends on you, for the company that employs you, and for your own welfare.
Only single risk taken
Might mean an accident from which you never recover
