Tip 17

Focus on 'SAFE Production' and Watch my back, too!
Yes, Production is important! - But not more important then you or your coworkers. So remember to focus on Safe Production and let's get everyone home safely. Remember: Safety is a team effort… we all have a job to do!
Keep a Positive Safety Attitude – It CAN happen to you! Wear your PPE, stay attentive, and pay attention to your surroundings. Keep an eye out for potential hazards and remember Rushing, Frustration and Fatigue increase the potential for injury.
Beware of Distractions – FOCUS on the task at hand. Plant your work and work your plan. Communicate the game plan with co-workers. Keep eyes and mind on task.
Watch your Positioning – Stay out of the Line of Fire! Think about the positon you are putting yourself in and ask is this a safe location. Keep track of co-workers (know where they are --- don't guess) and ask them to keep track of you. When we start making assumptions we end up getting people hurt!
Make Time for Safety, You're Worth it! – Remember to keep the focus on SAFE Production! Avoid at-risk behavior. Nobody goes to work thinking ‘I’m going to get hurt today!’ But every day 15,000-17,000 workers suffer disabling injuries on the job and another 11-17 are killed. What are you doing to make sure it doesn’t happen on your shift?
Silent Heroes - We had a medical emergency here at the plant the other day. Plant Emergency Responders were called to handle the situation and they did a great job. The interesting thing is the responders were two of the newest members of the team. It is always good to know somebody has your back. I strongly recommend a response or rescue team for any operation…they make a huge difference. Thanks guys, you know who you are!
