This is the Rule: “15 Seconds to Safety.” Every accident you have I can come and investigate the accident and find another way of doing it so you wouldn’t be injured. We usually know how to prevent the accident after it happens.

Why don’t you have the accident investigation before you have the accident? Take 10 or 15 seconds and think before you act. Ask yourself, “Am I abiding by the safety rules?” “Do I have the right people and equipment?” If that little voice in your head says look-out you may get hurt doing this, stop and call someone to help you make the right decision. If you don’t, that Supervisor may be out tomorrow with an OSHA person and you may not even be there to help on the investigation. You may be hurt or worse.
