I recently saw a sign that read, “Beware Of Falling Deer: Leopards conceal their unfinished food in the tops of trees”. In addition to the fact that there should have been a “Beware Of Leopards!” Sign as well, the point is, it’s there for a reason. As silly as that sign seems, at some point and time, a deer probably fell from a tree and either hit, or came close to hitting someone. The workplace is no different. Think of the signs you see every day. Signs with statements like, “Employees Wash Your Hands Before Returning To Work”, or images that depict being electrocuted, or having your hand chewed up in a machine. They’re all around us. Just like the falling deer, they’ve been displayed because someone somewhere not only did it, but did it enough that someone finally said, “We need a sign!”
Signs Keep Us Safe and Secure
Whether it’s lines, angles, footprints, dots, or the previously mentioned signs, there are all sorts of cues in the workplace that tell you the best possible way to stay safe, productive, and organized. Can you imagine how chaotic traffic would be without traffic and walkway lights at intersections? There would be accidents and deaths all the time if we didn’t regulate traffic. Even though we have systems like that in place, we still have people that don’t pay attention or ignore the rules altogether! In our private lives, police regulate this. At our facilities, that job is tasked to management and security guards. Neither are there to hassle you, but to keep you safe, and to make sure you and your fellow employees go home in one piece, safe and secure. Much like the traffic lights, floor markings and signs tell us that this is the most safe way to proceed. But you must obey them for them to work. So the next time you see the sign in your workplace that states how many days your facility has gone without an accident, be sure to contribute to it. Don’t take the number down to Zero!
