Authentic Heroes Engage in Safety An engaged employee doesn't just "do" his or her job, but is fully invested in both their work and the company’s success. They will put in more effort across the board; go out of their way to ensure things are done right; and actively offer their opinions, suggestions, and feedback.

8 TIPS TO CREATE A SAFER WORKING ENVIRONMENT THROUGH ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT

INVOLVE EVERY EMPLOYEE Hold – and participate in – weekly or monthly safety meetings and openly discuss ways to improve safety at your location. MAKE SAFETY A PRIORITY IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE Negative attitudes toward safety lead to negative results: accidents. Experience has shown that all the safety training and equipment in the world cannot ensure a safe workplace unless managers and employees have a positive attitude about workplace safety. RESPECT MACHINERY Make sure all guards are in place. Never hurry beyond your ability to think and act safely.

OPERATE MACHINERY ONLY IF QUALIFIED Do not operate machinery if you have not been trained on it. Your employer will ensure that you receive the necessary training to operate assigned equipment. Safety is a shared responsibility – let your supervisor know if you need additional training. BE A POSITIVE PART OF THE SAFETY TEAM Set a good example for your peers. Accept and follow safety rules and encourage those around you to do the same. Your attitude can play a major role in preventing accidents and injuries. Do not be influenced by others around you who are negative.

TAKE THE INITIATIVE You are in the best position to see problems when they arise. Voice your opinions, concerns, and ideas. If you are uncertain, ask. Do not accept answers that contain, "I think, I assume, I guess." Be sure. Most muscle and spinal injuries are from overstrain. Know your limits. Do not attempt to exceed them. The few minutes it takes to get help can prevent immeasurable pain. PRACTICE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Disorganized work areas are the breeding ground for accidents. You may not be the only victim.
