The importance of that second layer of safety.

I am safely professional. I am NOT a police officer and I do not write a citation My Job is to monitor, audit, review, and advise. I do not have the ability nor the desire to “ Fire” anyone. My goal is to make sure each employee goes home to his/her family by the end of the day in the same situation that he/she came to work. My ability to communicate is my strongest tool. It is easy to make someone follow the policies and procedures, but making them want to follow them is my job. I am encouraging my team to be pro-active, NOT reactive by reporting any unsafe conditions/ acts Or near misses and taking the necessary actions to avoid repetition. As any unsafe conditions/ act could be a near miss and any near miss could be an accident. My positive attitude, personality, and common sense will take me further than any degree or certification I may have. Because I am a safety professional

“The first step of any job should be a simple question. If I do the job the way it is planned, could I get hurt, or could I hurt my coworkers? If the answer is ‘YES’ to either part of this question, one should stop and replan the job. Everyone going home safe is always our priority.” Joe Smith, Manager of Safety Safety is ALWAYS our priority at EGS! 💻https://lnkd.in/e2G2TKXw 📱(866) EGS-2022 📧 info@electragridsolutions.com #ElectraGridSolutions #EGSStrong #UtilityServices #SafetyFirst
