Safety Has NO Sense of Humor
Working safely requires knowledge, attention and common sense, and it’s no laughing matter. Horseplay eliminates your safety margin, oftentimes creating a very un-funny situation.
When you’re at work, DO NOT, under any circumstances:
- Run
- Chase or push another person
- Throw tools, materials, PPE, beverage cans or other objects
- Play with sharp-edged tools
- Speed or show off while driving a forklift
- Handle PPE carelessly
- Run with a dolly or hand truck
- Distract someone who’s working with tools or machinery
- Play practical jokes
- Ignore safety rules
- Harass those who take safety seriously
- Use equipment for anything but its intended purpose
- Engage in horseplay
- Be proactive and report and plan against any potential safety hazards that may arise
