Rank: Guest		Posted By Merv Newman "There is nothing so urgent or so important that we cannot take time to do it safely" One company actually put this on a 10 meter long noticeboard, just inside the works gate. (paper mill, Aberdeen) Merv

Rank: Guest		Posted By Merv Newman The H&S consultants rôle is to ensure, in the most economical way, that the client never again has need of his services. Some clients are far too early in believing they have arrived at this point. Some consultants are far too late. The client's wris[expletive deleted]ch, which the consultant borrowed in order to tell the client the time, may be returned to the client by registered mail. Are the above "quotes" or "maxims" ? "It's always the other one" (applies to doors, taps and buses) Merv's Law. (maybe a corrolary of Murphie's)

Rank: Guest		Posted By Brett Day Seen in an accident report, "The man displayed all the self preservation instincts of a demented lemming about to hurl itself of Beachy Head". A fool and his life are soon parted. It's not the fall that kills you it's the sudden deceleration. Famous last words: "Safe?? Of course it's safe!" "I wonder what this button does?" "I bet no one's ever done this be-" Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. Better a thousand times careful than once dead. Safety is a cheap and effective insurance policy. Accidents hurt - safety doesn't. Alert today. Alive tomorrow. No safety know pain, know safety no pain.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Jeffrey Watt For use when bright sparks deride our profession and say that safety is just common sense... "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18" Albert Einstein And the one I repeat into myself as a mantra when dealing with people I need to influence "There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell them" -Louis Armstrong Or my own one when making excuses about why I haven't finished that thing I was meant to do... "Safety isn't rocket science, it's a sight more bloody difficult than that." Or for putting managers in their box when needed " If you can't manage safety, you can't manage."- unknown OSH professional And my favourite "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering"- Master Yoda Jeff
