Safety Quote of the Month "Think Before You Lift" Size up your load before you lift. Put your legs to work while lifting, not your back. Avoid twisting & bending at the waist when lifting or carrying. Push rather than pull a heavy load. Make sure you have a clear path to where you will carry the load.

I could have saved a life that day, but I chose to look the other way.

It wasn’t that I didn’t care, I had the time, and I was there.

But I didn’t want to seem like a fool, or argue over a safety rule.

I knew he’d done the job before, if I called it wrong he might get sore.

The chances didn’t seem that bad, I’ve done the same, he knew I had.

So I shook my head and walked on by, he knew the risks, as well as I.

He took the chance, I closed an eye, and with that act I let him die.

Now every time I see his wife, I’ll know I should have saved his life.

That guilt is something I must bear, but it isn’t something you need to share.

If you see a risk that others take, that puts their health or life at stake,

The question asked, or thing you say, could help them live another day.

If you see a risk and walk away, then hope you never have to say,

"I could have saved a life that day, but I chose to look the other way".
