Everyone has heard about the dreaded safety talk at there construction site. Most people show up, roll their eyes and look at their watch waiting for the safety guy to stop talking. What I don't understand is the same people go home and tell their kids to pay attention in school. Repetition is a proven method of instruction; we counted to ten numerous times in kindergarten until we could say it backwards. Why do people not believe in the same concept for safety talks? If I tell you over and over that stepping on the top rung of a ladder is unsafe don't you think it is a lesson you will remember on the job? So next time you find yourself in a safety talk, pick your head up and listen, it might just save your life.
