Catchy Safety Slogans

[Scooter]

List some catchy safety slogans here, if you know of any. One of my favorite was, "Unsafe is Unacceptable." I think I first saw that in the orientation package at Impact Reforestation.

Another interesting one that I saw a few weeks ago was:

"No Safety, Know First Aid. Know Safety, No First Aid."

I went to a morning of safety training at a nuclear facility last winter. They had a good phrase I thought:

"If you see something, say something."

I immediately started to roll that around in my head to a Bob Marley beat. "Could You Be Loved" I think.

Safety was pretty serious there, and generally far more intelligent than mining safety classes, where I once was presented with a slide of a bulldozer that said "Bulldozer" at the bottom of the slide. (I planted a Tritium spray field. Foreign labor, not allowed. Price = good.) And I didn't have to wear a hard-hat, either.

The point of the phrase is to get people to participate in safety, letting everyone on the site know it is always OK to ask a safety related question when they see something.

"It's okay not to know, it's not okay not to ask" is my personal favourite.

Though there's also a huge sign on the site I work at for a company called Jacobs that reads; "If you don't see the blue, what's going to happen to you?" No idea what it means...

I saw an odd one today while driving past a gravel/aggregate operation:

"Hand in, hamburger out."

I assume it means not to put your hands into the shaker/sorters.

Our motto for when we are running late so as not to rush while driving is "Take five stay alive". Cheesy but gets you out of trouble when you arrive a little late.

I've seen lots of safety slogans and sat in on a lot of safety talks, and for me it all boils down to a saying I heard when I was a pre-schooler:

Look Before You Leap

Here's one that I hadn't heard before:

"Keep calm and carry on."

I saw this in the notes for the PAR course on February 3rd of this year in the lead-up to the WSCA conference in Victoria:

"Safety starts with the person you see in the mirror."

I just saw this in a Canfor safety bulletin.

This is a health slogan, not safety, but close enough:

"The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet."
