Toolbox Talk Tuesday: Getting to ZERO! – See it, Believe it, Sell it, Achieve it!
We can get there, but it takes commitment…10,000% Commitment – 100% of the people complying 100% of the time! Are you on board?
You can lead a man to safety, but you can’t make him think…or can you?
I say you can… with quality training, coaching and supervision.
We need to all work together; it’s time to step up to the plate and watch out for each other, work with each other and hold each other accountable.
At-risk or unsafe acts occur around us everyday…it is time to speak up!
Sure some co-workers may get mad at you for reminding them to tie off or to lock out a breaker…but at least they will still be here.
And, they will get over it.
Can we stop all the accidents and all the injuries in the workplace? YES!
Will we ever get to zero fatalities in our industry? YES! …it is a tall order, but it is achievable.
One thing is certain though…we’ll get there sooner if we all see safety as a value that cannot be compromised.
The more people pulling the wagon, the faster we’ll get it up the hill.
So those of you still sitting in the wagon…get out and assist the rest of us.
Push or Pull, either will help! Only by pooling our efforts is the goal attainable.
Safety is not a spectator sport…every employee – each one of us must carry our share of the load.
Plan your work, work your plan. See something that needs attention, take the initiative and DO IT (or at least report it to somebody so that it gets addressed).
See an unsafe condition, take action immediately.
See an unsafe act, SPEAK UP! We all have lapses of judgment; and need a co-worker to set us straight every now and again.
Safety is a choice…it is choosing to do the right thing the right way.
When it comes to Safety, I’ve got your back…Do you have mine?
Are you watching out for your co-workers? Every day you have countless opportunities to make choices.
Some of us rarely have to face the consequences of our bad decisions; others live with regret (for the rest of their life) because of a bad choice they made along the way.
When it comes to Safety… Do the right thing! DO THE RIGHT THING THE RIGHT WAY Take Action/Make a Difference!
“Do what you can with what you have where you are.” Theodore Roosevelt
Wise words, indeed! We can’t fix all the safety problems, today…but we can get started on the list!
We must be persistent and we will make great strides over time.
Every goal is achievable with determination and commitment…
Remember – The Great Wall of China was started with a single brick.
