“Working safely isn’t always about you—it’s also about the people you work with. If you have the courage to say something to a co-worker who is engaged in an unsafe act or to a manager who is asking you to perform a task that you feel is unsafe, then you are upholding the standard of safety. At the end of the day, safety is about going home to the ones you love in the same condition as when you left them.”
