Safety is Attitude
by Mike McKinley Over the years as a professional speaker, I have been asked to do many safety awareness programs. Many of these requests have come from the construction or manufacturing industries. My audiences have included all levels of employees. Most of the organizations I speak to have safety programs and safety directors, but I am hired to make sure that the environments and standards of their businesses are constantly reminding employees that a safety-oriented attitude is key. Safety has always been an important part of my life. When I was in the 7th grade, my father's right leg was crushed in a construction accident. Fourteen years later, he had a career-ending accident in which both his legs were broken. Having been directly involved in manufacturing for 15 years of my work life, I know that too many times hastiness, carelessness, ignorance, sloppiness, or just plain stupidity causes someone to get hurt. After you read this, look around your home and workplace for potentially dangerous situations or areas where safety is breached. Hindrances to a safe environment can be both visible and invisible (i.e., both physical and mental). If safety is not constantly taught, if management is not totally providing leadership, and if there are no repercussions for unsafe behavior, you WILL have accidents. Consider the following to ensure a proactive, safe environment:
