Staying Safe at Work

The most important part to know in a new job is the training you need to not get hurt on the job. I think the most important responsibility I should take is speaking up for myself when I think a task is unsafe. I think that should know any emergency produces in case of any accidences or injuries’. I should have any safety equipment needed to preform the task and I should remind others when they forget. Lastly, I should speak up for others when they don`t have the proper training to preform task when they can not. Overall, work safety is very important to keep each other safe.

The workplace incident that stuck out to me the most was the story of John Higgins and how he broke his back at the age of 16. John left his forklift out when he was in a high traffic area when he turned the gear without being in the vehicle and fell in the path of the forklift and broke his back. The thing about his story that struck out the most was that John turned on the gear without being in the vehicle and knowing that it was unsafe. I think that John was really lucky that john just broke is back instead of getting paralyzed or worse have died. In the end what happen to john was really unfortunate and why safety is very important.
