Why I work safely, why do you work safely, and why is it important to work safely? Of course, we have the right to work safely. I have two arms, two legs, two feet, ten toes and ten fingers. I also have two eyes. All these things are in good condition and I want to keep them that way. We are the ones who must protect the treasures that nature gave us. They are ours, they allow us to earn more and feel happy daily. The question is solved, Why I work safely.
Why I work safely, why do you work safely?
When a person is missing
a part of the body or cannot use it correctly, we say they have an
impairment or are disabled. Do you know what an impediment definition is? We
will define impediments in today's toolbox meeting. In life, the impediment means fewer fingers, limping,
being blind or deaf, in short, having an obstacle to carrying out daily
work. Many people perform well at work despite having a disability. But,
there is no doubt that these people have to work much harder than others to
achieve the same performance.
In the modern work environment, there is nothing that necessarily has to
produce injury accidents that result in lifelong disabilities. But, in all
jobs, without exception, accidents with disabling injuries can occur.

Any
moving machinery can
injure a person who does not use it correctly. Whoever tries to oil, clean,
adjust or repair a machine in motion, unnecessarily risks being left maimed or
with a useless hand for the rest of his life.
When handling any heavy
object you risk back injury unless you lift with your legs and not your back. And
if the load is too heavy, unless he gets someone to help, you will suffer
injuries that however much you later regret will not help you earn a
living. Heavy
loads can bruise feet unless they are handled properly and feet are protected
by wearing appropriate shoes for the job. Most minor wounds
can become infected unless attended to by trained company
personnel immediately. When an infection occurs, doctors are sometimes
forced to amputate the affected limb, scarring the patient for life.

The eyes are one of the
most delicate parts of the body. A tiny speck of metal or emery can
permanently damage them. The same goes for acids and chemicals. That is why in
certain operations it is essential to wear protective
glasses—to prevent that sight disability that is blindness. (Eye protection safety)
But many more injuries result in disabilities at home, at work, or in sports —falls, burns, etc. The fact is that
they happen all the time, producing a certain number of disabilities every
year.
If you want to avoid disabilities
due to these causes, be careful with things that can catch fire or explode and be
aware of the traffic on the street and watch carefully where you put your foot when walking.
Think safety work safely

A worker who can be
trusted to approach every situation cautiously is very valuable to the company.
A few years ago, a tragic accident occurred in the yard of a steel
factory. A worker whose occupation was sweeping the floors died as a result of a hit-and-run accident. Everyone in the plant knew him and liked him very much.
One day he was cleaning
a platform along a track. Unluckily hit the bent body of the poor street
sweeper. The man was materially crushed and died instantly.
The truck operator did
not use good judgment. He couldn't see clearly the housekeeper. He assumed
there was no one there. By using poor judgment and caution he created for himself
a tragedy that he will be unable to forget for the rest of his life.
It would not be
difficult for us to list several things that the operator should have done.
It is almost certain that since he was a child he had heard the old adage that says "Always look
before acting".
Why I work safely
There are too many people
acting crazy. And it's not until they find out that their carelessness has
cost them, and others, a heavy price that they realize the meaning of the old adage "always look before you act".
If only we could all
remember never to drop a heavy object before making sure it's not going to land
on someone's feet, that we're never going to touch a piece of metal until we're sure it's not hot, and that we're never going
to use a grinder before making sure that there are no people in the vicinity,
we would greatly reduce the number of injuries and deaths.
More than or less, we
have all acted at some time in our lives without taking into account the consequences
of the reckless action that
we are going to carry out. But most of us have gotten into the habit, of not
looking before acting.
Always look before you act
Why I work safely
This, seen coldly, may
seem like a fun game. But if we take a close look at any of those
games, it's easy to see the tragic consequences that
can result when you lose at that
game.
Speaking of games, a case that I read years ago in a magazine has come to mind. "Abdul" I remember the article said, "was a man who liked to play with his luck. He went through life without thinking about what he was going to do the next moment.
Despite having had some unpleasant experiences, he had reached his forty years without having suffered any tragic mishap. But one day luck took him out of hand. As they always had done, he left his garage in the morning without carefully looking back.

Suddenly he heard a terrible
groan. He jumped and rushed out of his car and had to witness the scene of his
only son, three years old, crushed under the wheels of his car. Abdul is now
sixty years old and always looks twice before acting. But do we need to
have such an experience for us to learn the lesson once and for all?

Conclusion
In
closing, I want to remind you again of that old adage that I have already
mentioned twice. I would like you to engrave it deeply in your minds and
bring it to mind
whenever you go to take action. In deference to your family, your
co-workers, your
companies and
yourselves, "Always look before you act”
