In every workplace, the decisions we make may be big or small.
These decisions can shape not only our own safety but also the safety and wellbeing of our mates at work.
Choosing to wear protective equipment, follow procedures and speak up when something doesn’t look right may feel routine but these choices are the difference between going home safely or not.
One quick decision to do the right thing can prevent injuries, protect lives and ensure that everyone finishes their shift without harm.
On the other hand, one poor choice such as:
- skipping a step
- ignoring a hazard
- taking a shortcut
These can all have devastating outcomes. Incidents often happen in moments when people decide to bend the rules or assume “it won’t happen to me.”
Remember, one choice can change everything!
It can impact your health, your family, your team, and your future.
Safety is built on the sum of everyday decisions and committing to making the right choice every time is how we keep ourselves and our mates safe.
What is your choice?
Share in the comments a choice you make each day to ensure you and your mates stay safe.
We would love to hear from you….
