Safety Ethics: Some Situations Create Serious Complications
When it comes to safety, some situations and the
decisions related to them cause serious
complications and long-term consequences. To
make my point a little easier, consider this all too
familiar situation.
You are sitting in your easy chair with your favorite
drink (pick one) watching the game, movie, TV show,
etc. and the phone rings. Your six year old child
protégée is sitting on the floor playing with his favorite
toy and your spouse is relaxing comfortably, hoping
nothing disturbs the nice quiet evening at home. Then
the phone rings-- you and your spouse exchange a
look, each hoping the other will answer the phone.

The Gamble of a Lifetime
You Bet Your Life
It's getting a little ridiculous - all everyone is talking
about is their 401Ks and their stock market
investments. The cable news networks have to stock
exchange board on the screen all day long. Every talk
radio host is pontificating about the financial

We can't as individuals do a lot about these things.
We just don't have a lot of control other than about
decisions concerning whether to continue to invest or
not. It's all a bit of a gamble, don't you think. But
there's one other big gamble that we face every day -
and we have a lot more control over it. That's our
personal safety.

Is Your Attitude Hazardous to Your Health?
Why does a worker make the decision to bypass a
safeguard, take a shortcut or not wear personal
protective equipment? Such unsafe behavior often
leads to injury - to the employee or someone else. A
safety director in a utility once remarked, "We don't
work in a dangerous workplace, we work in a
hazardous workplace that we make dangerous by not
following safety procedures and wearing our PPE."
When workers make decisions that change their
workplace
