Every day we see, hear, read and may experience accidents. But, how much time we spend on thinking about those accidents and what can be done to prevent such accidents. As we think more and more on the subject, our thoughts will be streamlined and a day will come when it becomes a part of life.
True, we need safety. But, normally we just leave it as such, as we have more important things to do (so as we assume).
Do we leave things as they were, if it is our children involved in such activities. A BIG NO. We tell a hundred times about how to proceed with a task, if it is to be done by our child. We also ensure some sort of supervision or keep watch on them.
The way we communicate with our children, we have to do it with our colleagues or partners in the work area also. BECAUSE, safety is a team work.
We may follow safety rules. But, we can't be sure of a safe work place, unless all those involved in the work also follow those safety rules.
Do not say later on that I told you so / I did but why you did not. Say it before taking up the task.
Communication should be simpler, straight, easy to understand, written and confirm it by asking questions.
If there is any doubt, get it cleared at once. You may be called Doubtfire. It doesn't matter. Because it is 'I' or 'Me' who is going to be involved in the job and even a wrong step can cause danger to others also.
