SAFETY PHILOSOPHY @ WORK

“THE WORK AND PERSONAL HEALTH,


WELFARE AND WELL BEING OF EMPLOYEES
ARE EQUAL IN IMPORTANCE, THAT EVERYONE
MUST TAKE THE TIME AND EXHAUST HIS
BEST TO PERFORM HIS WORK SAFELY. IT IS
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERYONE ON SITE
TO APPLY EVERY POSSIBLE MEASURE, TO
ENSURE THAT ALL LEAVE THE JOB IN THE
SAME CONDITION THEY ARRIVED.”

Equals,
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then,
K+ N +O +W+ L +E+D+G+E
11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96%

H+A+R +D+W+ O+ R +K
8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98%

Both are important, but the total falls just short of 100%
But,
A+T +T + I+T + U +D+E
1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100%
Safety really is about attitude. Make 100% Safe Behavior your
choice both ON and OFF the job.
