Remembering 9/11/01

9/11/2001 - Too many victims...and questions that may never be answered!
Hard to believe it has been seven years since the 9/11 Tragedy. No one should have to die earning a living. I think about all the families that lost loved ones, all the people that lost friends, the fire fighters and emergency service personnel that were hit hard by this incident. So much talent, gone in the blink of an eye...these people all touched a lot of lives and their talents and skills died with them. America lost a lot of great people that day and too many heroes. I hope and pray all the victims may find peace some day...and that something like this never happens again in the USA (the best country in the world). God bless America

In the 'Blink of an Eye'
Live is precious...but oh so fragile, SO FRAGILE! Be careful out there and take care of each other. You owe it to your family to work safely. YOU must take responsibility for your safety and the safety of your co-workers. Please don't count on the safety manager, your supervisor or the company to keep you safe. Watch out for yourself...It really is up to you! Don't take unnecessary risk...work safely everyday, EVERY DAY!

Turning Back the Clock
When someone gets seriously hurt on the job (or worse)...many, many lives are affected. And, nobody, NOBODY can turn back the clock!!! Too many people live with injuries and regrets that LAST A LIFETIME! The good news is you do not have to be one of those people, we have choices, we have to make good decisions. We must keep the focus on safety...not production (which is important) but on Safety!

Winning means being Number 1
Does anybody know the name of the guys that got the silver medals to Mike Phelps' 8 GOLD Metals??? Number 2 is the first loser. Safety must be No. 1 always, Always!!! It must be a value, not a priority, but a VALUE...priorities change! If safety falls to the No. 2 spot because of production then something is wrong. It is all of our jobs (ALL of our jobs!) to make sure that does not happen. Safety...it really is up to YOU!

Remember what Mother Jones said, "Pray for the dead, but fight like hell for the living!" Safety...it is up to all of us to do our part!
