How many accident reports include something like " Ive done this a thousand times" ?

How many minor accident reports are simply a rehash of the same scenario?

How many minor accidents does it take for someone to realize that some of these small "near misses" are really fortunate outcomes to an event that could have been tragic?

How many managers want to talk "truth" instead of reading some script put together by someone that has never done the job? ( No disrespect intended, but if you havent had your butt in the seat for several years you cannot really understand "first hand" the issues and obstacles presented by the job to begin with )

I find Safety meetings to be quite entertaining and fruitful ( thought and action provoking ) when the person holding the meeting has "been there". No bs just the plain truth.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
