Why is Training Important?
You are the chief airplane washer at the
company's hangar you (1) Hook high pressure hose
up to the soap suds machine. (2) Turn the machine
"on". (3) Receive an important call and have to
leave work to go home. (4) As you depart for
home, you yell to Don, your assistant, "Don,
turn it off." (5) Assistant Don thinks he hears,
"Don't turn it off." He shrugs, and leaves the
area right after you. (6) As with any occupation,
make sure personnel have a clear understanding of
what you are communicating!

I dont believe, and this facility does not
believe, in safety first. Safety first is not
what we sell. We sell paper. Our goal is to get
a roll of paper out the door at the best possible
price at the best possible quality. That means
doing it without interruptions and injuries
incidents and injuries are interruptions to that
process. People who are very much
production-oriented can buy into safety from that
perspective. -Robert Leclerc Safety
