It takes a Minute to write a safety rule. It takes an Hour to hold a safety meeting. It takes a Week to plan a safety program. It takes a Month to put it in practice. It takes a Year to win a safety award. It takes a Lifetime to make a safe worker. but it only takes a SECOND to destroy it all in one accident!

To look is one thing. To see what you look at is another. To understand what you see is another. To learn from what you understand is something else. But to act on what you learn is all that really matters.
