We come to work to do a quality job and we don't want to leave any of our body parts behind when we go home. Understandably, the likelihood of being dismembered during our day of loading ice cream and pizza is considerably low but it could happen. We have a better chance for hazards such as slips and trips along with falling objects and property damage. This should not give us a reason to get comfortable. Most injuries happen when someone feels they have nothing to worry about. Safety is not something we just do so we want to avoid being written up. It's not a rule we can bend if no one is looking. Safety is a part of our every day life and we need to take it everywhere we go. Here, we will be going over assessing risk and keeping updates on team contributions.
"No cops, floor it!"
I've never bumped into a pan of hot bacon and spilled it down my legs but I'm sure I wouldn't like it much.
Who really pays when you get injured?
Even if you do get workers compensation and get to stay home and get paid, chances are that you'd be hurting too bad to enjoy your time off.
Perhaps they were thinking it would happen to someone else before it happened to them.
Taking a short cut and not putting the chock down seems fine until the air breaks give out and you end up on the pavement with a pallet of pizza on your chest.
We should not dedicate ourselves to being safe at work because it is the right thing to do. We should be safe at work because we are safe in life. If you weren't already being safe in life, chances are you wouldn't have made it this far. Safety is not something we do and it's not something we study. Safety is the ability to survive without being harmed or harming anyone around us.
