Safety Orientation is the First Step to Creating a Culture of Safety

There were over 5.5 million recordable, non-fatal illnesses and injuries in private industry in 2000, with almost 1.7 million requiring days away from work, according the The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Further, the National Safety Council calculates in Injury Facts, 2002, that there were 130 million days lost to disabling workplace injuries in 2001.

Each manager responsible for safety and development of human resources makes a difference to the success of the company and to the life of each employee. Make sure your managers enforce and reinforce the importance of safety on-the-job. Use:

• Motivational programs featuring Kevin Bailey and The Charlie Morecraft safety series
• Graphic and non-gory general awareness programs to improve safety consciousness
• Programs reviewing all the safety and health requirements of the OSHA regulations for general and specific industries
• Meeting openers to set the stage for your safety presentation

Is your safety orientation program achieving its goals?

Safety Orientation Sample Course Outline

In 1980, Charles T. Morecraft was an employee of Exxon Corporation. He was a good employee ­ both in the eyes of his union and in the eyes of his management, but otherwise he was unremarkable. He was just like hundreds of thousands of other blue-collar workers.   Charlie had more than 15 years experience on the job, and he knew it well. He'd been through the required OSHA training, he knew all the safety regulations . . . and he knew all the shortcuts around them too. Yes, Charlie was just like all the other seasoned workers; he was certain that nothing could go wrong when he was in control. And he was right . . . except for this one time . . .

When Charlie tells his story your employees will sit in rapt attention as they are moved to new levels of awareness. Charlie has that rare and unique ability to speak with ordinary words and conjure extraordinary images. Both he and his story are unforgettable. His words are simple, and he tells us things we think we already know, but he tells it in a way that will dramatically change our attitudes toward safety forever.

His primary messages are "Safety is about going home at the end of the day, kissing your wife and hugging your kids", and "We are each responsible for our own safety". They aren't new messages, but Charlie gives us a powerful new way of looking at them.
