SAFETY IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS


   d

No matter the number of times we may have heard or seen this expression, it is highly important that we appreciate the message and ensure it is at the back of our minds always.

We may have a Safety Department and a limited number of safety officials whose job is to ensure compliance to safety procedures, the rest of us, especially those engaged in operational duties that involve the use of various tools and equipment, must realize that the bulk of the responsibility towards safety lies with us.

Our positive attitude towards safety on a daily basis would ensure that we have accident-free operations. Our co-workers must also fully understand this statement, and we are duty bound to call them to order if at any point in time we notice any deviation from standard procedures. Such intervention or correction could be the difference between staying safe and getting injured, or sometimes, permanent disability or death. It is also equally important that we report all near misses, incident and injury to our supervisors and the safety department.
