Absolutely, ensuring safety should be a top priority for everyone, and interference with safety measures or practices should not be tolerated. Here's an expanded perspective: The safety and well-being of individuals, whether oneself or others, should always be paramount. Any interference or negligence that compromises safety is unacceptable and can have serious consequences, ranging from minor accidents to life-threatening situations. As professionals in the tree care industry, it's essential to adhere to established safety protocols, guidelines, and best practices at all times. This includes wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, following safe work procedures, and being aware of potential hazards in the work environment. Moreover, it's crucial to speak up and take action if you witness any behavior or practices that pose a safety risk. Whether it's addressing unsafe work conditions, reporting violations of safety regulations, or advocating for better safety measures, proactive intervention is key to preventing accidents and injuries. Creating a culture of safety requires collective commitment and accountability from everyone involved. By prioritizing safety and holding each other accountable for maintaining a safe work environment, we can minimize risks, protect lives, and ensure that everyone returns home safely at the end of the day. In summary, interference with safety is not only irresponsible but also morally and ethically wrong. By upholding safety as a non-negotiable value and taking proactive measures to promote it, we can create safer work environments and contribute to the well-being of ourselves and others.

Sustainability in Action 0.6 Lost time Injuries (LTIFR) per million hours worked. Key elements that have propelled safety improvements at Vesuvius: Targets: We have set a long-term objective to become a zero-accident company, and yearly targets to gradually achieve it. The Group’s 2023 lost time injury frequency rate target was set at <1 per million hours worked. We have outperformed it with 0.6 LTIFR and set ourselves a stretch goal of 0.5 by the end of 2025. Governance: Safety is at the top of the agenda at all our Group Executive Committee and management meetings. All senior managers perform Executive Safety Tours and follow up on improvement requirements. In 2023, they carried out 195 Executive Safety Tours. Leadership: At a Group level, policies and standards are regularly reviewed and refreshed whilst Group safety audits are made against the policies and standards with the close involvement of our site managers. Employee participation in safety leadership: In 2023, on average, 83% of all Vesuvius employees and directly supervised contractors, participated in safety audits every month. We find this to be a key element of our safety performance. Safety Training: We offer our employees more than 40 targeted safety training programmes; a full list of these programmes is on page 136 of our 2023 Sustainability Report. (Link in the comments) Core Safety Rules: We have eight Core Safety Rules that outline our employees’ basic safety responsibilities. These were rolled out across the organisation as the mandated conduct practices. #SustainabilityReport #BetterTommorow #ESG #Safety #casestudy

SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU🤓😇. This quote emphasizes the personal responsibility each individual has in maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. It's a powerful message that: 1. *Empowers individuals*: By saying "starts with you", it places the ownership of safety squarely on each person's shoulders, encouraging them to take an active role. 2. *Encourages proactive behavior*: It promotes a mindset shift from being reactive to being proactive about safety, anticipating potential hazards, and taking steps to prevent them. 3. *Fosters a safety culture*: When individuals take responsibility for safety, it creates a ripple effect, influencing others to do the same, and eventually, shaping a culture of safety within the organization. 4. *Highlights personal accountability*: It reminds us that safety is not just the responsibility of management, supervisors, or safety professionals, but each and every individual. 5. *Simplifies safety*: The quote's straightforwardness makes it easy to understand and remember, making safety more accessible and inclusive. In essence, "Safety starts with you" means that: - Your actions, decisions, and behaviors have a direct impact on your safety and the safety of those around you. - You have the power to create a safe work environment. - Safety is everyone's responsibility, and it begins with individual commitment. Remember, safety is a personal choice, and it starts with YOU! Good Morning, and y’all have a wonderful weekend ahead🤓. #Safety #SafeWork #ConciousMind #HSE

Your safety is our priority I was in the right place at the right time earlier today, dropping in to an ad-hoc safety discussion with TRU's West Alliance, attended by ~100 of the team who had abandoned their desks to huddle in Square One. We were ably led through a review of common lessons learned, key themes and trends to keep people alive to the hazards. It was really encouraging to see the level of participation from many in the crowd, demonstrating a clear engagement and passion for safety which spanned disciplines and organisations. Some takeaways for me: - How / do we establish that workers really understand their briefings? - Reminding people they are empowered to stop and speak out for safety - The need to develop a culture where we stand down immediately when we notice that ANYTHING has changed in our plans, and take 5 to check that everything actually is as expected - Linking back to our TRU value of Safety First, are we doing everything we can to get everyone home safe every day, and are people comfortable speaking up? Great work and I'm looking forward to the next one

At Hodges & Hicks, safety is more than just a priority – it is at the core of everything we do. During #ConstructionSafetyWeek, we want to take a moment to recognize the commitment of our teams to maintaining safe job sites day in and day out. Adhering to safety standards is crucial, but sharing new ideas drives progress while enhancing safety measures. We value every contribution that helps us build safer environments for our teams. This week, we're featuring a few of our team members who answered: “What is one piece of safety advice you have carried throughout your career that you want to share with others?” Mark’s best practice of leading by example is a good reminder that safety is a shared responsibility. #ConstructionSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst #ValueEveryVoice
