Having a good safety attitude is a major key in the prevention of accidents and injuries to yourself and others. Whether at home or at work people with a positive attitude toward safety consistently have fewer incidents of injury than those who do not. So just what does it take to have a good “Safety Attitude”?
FOCUS: Make it a habit to focus on the job at hand and avoid distractions.
TIME: Always take the time to do it right. Shortcuts are never worth the risk.
DISCIPLINE: Always have the discipline to do what is right even when others encourage you to take short cuts or fool around.
RESPONSIBILITY: Take it-even when it isn’t your job! Such as cleaning up a spill you find that someone may slip on or fixing-reporting safety hazards.
AVOID RISKS: Avoid taking risks whenever you can.
THINK POSITIVE: People like to deal with a positive attitude. It can be contagious. It forms better communication between workers, leads to better customer service, and improved sales.
LEADERSHIP: Be a safety leader by being a good example to those around you.
TEAMWORK: Unite people in overcoming challenges and problems safely.
MOTIVATION: Motivate others to see the challenges with a positive attitude instead of obstacles in the way.
