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.
