Ten Commandments of Safety

Ten Commandments of Safety

LEARN the safe way to do your job before you start.
THINK safety, and ACT safety at all times.
OBEY safety rules and regulations – they are there for YOUR protection.
WEAR appropriate personal protective clothing at all times.
CONDUCT yourself properly at all times – horseplay and freelancing is strictly prohibited.
OPERATE only the equipment you are authorized to use and do it safely every time.
INSPECT tools and equipment for safe conditions before starting work.
ADVISE your superior promptly of any unsafe conditions or practices.
REPORT any Injury immediately to your superior.

10. SUPPORT your safety program and take an active role in safety daily.

Safety in the fire service is a matter of attitude. We must work to foster the right attitudes. We can not afford not to! As the old saying goes “Better Safe Than Sorry”.

That is awesome. Truthfully, I have not seen that before..but it makes absolute sense, and I agree with you and the Chief, it should be posted at every station, and it should be part of all Safety & Training Officer's toolkit. Thanks for that. :) Very good!
