Let's Talk about Safety

The Shitshow sent out yet another mind blowing safety memo.  This time the memo is on tips for holding a great safety conversation.  That’s right, tips on how to have a great safety conversation.  Enojy!


1)  Talk about safety after someone almost gets hurt as they are more likely to listen. 
2)  Talk about the good parts of not getting hurt, after all no one likes filling out all that extra paper work if they do get hurt.
3) Don’t tell people about safety, instead ask them about safety.   
4) Don’t rely on generic handouts or memos. 
5) Ask people to stay safe and identify any unforeseen safety issues.
6) Make people feel good when you talk to them about safety so they have a positive correlation with being 
safe.
7) Start with an ice-breaker.
8) Be a winner, and let people know they are a winner.  People like winners

The memo then closes with directions on how to use these eight great tips. 

When using these tips to help you talk about safety, don’t use all of the tips at once.  You’ll find that it’s better to be use only 1 or 2 of these tips based on the situation instead of trying to use them all.

Because it’s safe to say that every safety memo is a complete joke, I throw rocks.
