To keep me safe at work I will follow all procedures, use common sense, and will wear necessary protection.  To keep others safe at work I will say something if they aren’t following procedure, and I will clean up after myself to ensure there are no hazards.

Matt Boycott’s story resonates with me the most.  Matt had a job at a restaurant at 19 and sadly had an oil accident.  The reason why this resonates with me most is that right now I currently am working a job at Freshii which is a fast food place.  Although we don’t deal with deep fryers, we do deal with a steamer and boiling water, hot broths and beans.  This made me realize that accidents do happen and following procedure is extremely important.  Procedure steps can be lost when no manager is around and when working a night shift like many of us high school students do.  This made me more aware and showed me that if something doesn’t seem right or safe to you it is okay to say no. Proper procedures are there for a reason.
