Why safety at work is not just about you.

[Guest001]

Briefly; Besides the fact you don't want to see a mate hurt or killed at work "or anyone else for that matter" the surprise is it can directly affect you and your family. How?

The company I was working for (MWS I cannot specify the company details exactly for legal reasons) was involved in an onsite fatality, a fatality that should never have occurred.

I worked in the engineering workshop and had little to do with onsite operations except that my work had to be accurate and to specification (ie: structural integrity and weld strength)

End result is the they have been sued fined and prosecuted out of existence and so now I have no job and have had to discard years of work and friendship....don't let this happen to your company! Be proactive not reactive, never say that will do or that looks good enough.
