Dear  Safety-Aware

ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT SAFETY AT HOME?

THE ISSUE

95% of employees do not take safety home and / or take safety at home seriously. This includes road safety.

PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Employees' attitude towards safety is a "consequence" attitude, i.e.
    I  'GOTO'  instead of  I  'WANTO'  do safety - because I believe it is the right thing to do.
  • Employees see safety as an issue that concerns them only when at work. Once they leave the factory / mine gate, different safety standards kick in.
  • Companies spend virtually no money and effort on home safety, i.e. % of safety budget spent directly on improving safety outside the gate = ZERO.
  • We - the employer and employees - don't have time and / or money, and / or ...    the list goes on and on.
What I want to know is: What are your thoughts on this subject?
