I wanted to share a quick post with all of you today as we move into a week that really needs to be shared more than just one time a year. We are losing way too many people to occupational injuries. Although our strides are helping the numbers drop, that is still a huge gap in safety/hazard awareness.
I challenge you all this week to talk about safety at least one time a day so we can make a change in our injury rates. The Department of Labor is still tallying up the final numbers but we had approximately 3.7 Million non-fatal injuries in 2014. Too many moms and dads don’t go home to their families everyday.
Take a stand for safety, this week and the weeks to come! Look at the chart below for training ideas –
Be Safe Out There!
