Solutions can be found to prevent job site accidents, thus reducing the amount of money spent on ER and clinic visits.
Sitting in Toledo’s famous Hungarian restaurant Tony Packo’s Cafe, with 1,000 celebrity-signed hot dog buns as the wallpaper, Matthew Taylor is illustrating the different similes and metaphors he uses to instruct his crew at OCP Contractors. He also discusses the effects an injury may have on the job site. The safety director of this Holland, Ohio, firm conveys how implementing a safety program is no task for the bullheaded.
Through the use of charts, media, oration and actual safety gear, the goal is to get workers in the habit of OSHA- and state-compliant safety practices—not out of consideration for safety- compliant issues or penalties, but to instill life saving habits that eliminate job-site injuries. Taylor’s acronym SAFETY is a hierarchy of rules and education.
