Here are six actual accidents that led to fatalities, and the last day at work for healthy adults.
Every one of these incidents could have been prevented by one simple act. The purpose of this video is to get workers to understand that terrible, life-changing, family destroying accidents like these are avoidable. Don't make your day at work end badly! Do whatever is necessary to make sure you go home safe at the end of the day.
Use your head, employ your brain, follow the rules, avoid distractions and above all take the extra time necessary to make sure you go home safe at the end of the day.
Mo matter what kind of work you do, and no matter where you work, there are hazards. Some are created by you as you go through your normal workday, and plenty are created by others. Don't become a victim of hazards.
Forklifts, elevators, scaffolding, stairways, wet floors, poor walking surfaces, lack of training, removed safeties and machine guards, bad storage, poor policies and poor training are among the hazards that cause fatal accidents on a daily basis.
Be aware of your surroundings and know what you, and all the others working around you, are doing. Construction, warehousing, hospitals, factories and even quiet offices have hazards virtually around every corner.
