Remembering • REMINDER – SAFETY CAN BE LEARNED • Remembering the safety rules set up by your company and applying them in EVERY MINUTE and aspect of your life, whether at work or at home.
“ANTICIPATE ACCIDENTS” • Let us try and anticipate what could happen by being aware of near misses and reporting them. In this way we all can play a big part in preventing accidents.
So we see that accidents do not have to result in injury. But, they are strong indications that something is wrong. If not remedied in time, they may very well result in a major lost-time injury.
KNOW YOUR JOB. • KNOW YOUR TOOLS. • KNOW YOUR SAFEGUARDS. • KNOW YOUR PENALTIES. • KNOW YOUR REWARDS. • Know the advantages of working safely.
KNOW THE REMEDIES. KNOW YOURSELF.. KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. KNOW YOUR HAZARDS.
WORTH REMEMBERING A SINGLE RISK, MIGHT MEAN AN ACCIDENT FROM WHICH YOU MIGHT NEVER RECOVER.
Always remember that in safety, you protect: YOU AND ALL THOSE YOU LOVE!
USE Good Judgment. • Never relying on luck.
