Our boss sends us a newsletter every so often. I thought I would share his thoughts on H&S for the winter holiday, just to show that not all bosses hate H&S:
"I also hope that you remember that this is a particularly dangerous time of year where we live, drive, and play. A telling indication of how well we?re doing in our safety program is whether our people take safety home with them, and this stretch on the calendar really puts that to the test. Let?s all make an extra effort to keep ourselves and our families safe.
For those who like to ring in the New Year out on the town or at a party, be mindful that not everyone is at their best behind the wheel after midnight. And it?s not just drinking that makes the roads dangerous during the holidays; people tend to be in a hurry and less courteous, so stay vigilant. For those who celebrate with things like trees, lights, and candles that add to the season, remember they can also present hazards. Be sure to keep your tree watered, and turn off your lights and extinguish your candles before you turn in for the night. Every year we hear about families who are devastated by fires, and we certainly don?t want this to happen to any of us. If you go skating, skiing, or surfing, be sure to dress appropriately, stretch, and not push yourself beyond your limits. We want to see everyone return after the holidays healthy, happy, and ready to get back to work."
