Safety First--Do As I Say Department

Posted April 04, 2014 11:30 AM by Milo
Pathfinder Tags: manufacturing safety warning

I really get annoyed when people tell me to do as they say, rather than as they do.

How about demonstrating leadership behaviors that show us that you are serious?

How many violations can you find in this gem?

It is incumbent on all of us to commit to a safer workplace. That means leadership by example. If you wear your PPE out in the shop, your employees will get the message that wearing PPE is important for them too.

As for the safety culture at wherever this photo was taken, well, lets just say that "I'm glad my son or daughter do not work there."

Please do not try to stage photos like this for fun. but if you have a favorite "Don't do as I do" Safety Photo, I'd love to share it with our readers.

Editor's Note: CR4 would like to thank Milo for sharing this blog entry, which you can finish reading here.

How many violations can you find in this gem?

About five or so....

For starters, that job should be performed with bare feet.....

Dear Mr.Milo.

Your views are correct, I think when you feel your responsibility and discharge your duty- this sort of irritation for "DO WHAT I SAY" is hurting. With due respect to your expression I want to mention the following.

There are some people - who think they are the only intelligent in the world and others do not know anything, neither they do on their own, nor follow what is being told.

For such people "DO WHAT I SAY" or "DO ON YOUR OWN AND SHOW THE RESULT, OR GET LOST" is the only choice.
