If You Hear The Explosion, The Danger Has Passed

[Music] I wouldn't if I were [Music] you that does it that's watch if you hear the explosion the danger has passed for the cause and the means went up in the blast now if you think that's true just listen to me and before we're finished I'll disagree courtesy of okay Ralph take it from the top now you take the human being not you [Music] Buster out outou this is my show now you take the human being here's a pretty package of brittle bones delicate organs and precisely balanced chemicals all bagged up in a sack of skin you can scratch a hole in with your fingernail mark it fragile as everyone knows the human being was originally engineered to live in the Garden of Eden sun in the sky and plenty to feed on no glass in the grass no smog in the air nothing but nice soft gentle peace and quiet but the human being got himself kicked out of there for ignoring the first safety warning don't eat the apple so did the human being learn a lesson sure he did this is the way it is baby cars and trucks and wheelie things hoists and cranes and bumblebee stings Booms that are big and Booms that are small fires that burn and that ain't all you're aching back crunching machine slicing ones too chemicals and cosics and non-sticking glue Stacks piled up like that Tower in pza loads as Shifty as the monaa and you're ACH in back things that are sharp things that are dull sticking out things to wrap your skull Trippers and tanglers and wax in the hall and ways to get tackled by nothing at all doors and [Music] doors and doors and doors the downtime they offer could be yours light that hurts and the electric shock and horse spit [Music] horse play that'll fix your clock did you ever feel that someone doesn't like you not really because someone gave us brains and we [Music] invented safety and the safety engineer made a science out of it look around you buddy he's been there by statistic he reduced the rate of accident and thereby reduce downtime production loss medical expense and insurance premiums Pain and Disability and most importantly he saved your bread and butter by keeping you able to earn it he kept piles of statistics on everything that happened including your ACH and back his statistics told him that the greatest single cause of work loss is back injury and muscle strain caused by lack of knowledge of how to lift and handle materials [Music] properly but who wants to be a statistic this guy [Music] does but he proves a point the safety Engineers know that three things are involved in an accident an unsafe act by an individual an unsafe facility or piece of equipment an unsafe procedure here they are the unsafe procedure by the individual the unsafe piece of equipment the unsafe [Music] axe walking down the street walking down the street walk down the street this guy needs help okay so now you know all about safety what's wrong with this picture all right so here's what a safety engineer sees an unsafe act this man is working inside the danger zone with his hands an unsafe procedure he is trying to dislodge a stuck piece with a screwdriver he should use a piece of wood or a tool of soft metal so that if the Ram comes down it won't smash unsafe equipment boy this guy is really going on this one the Press has no guard he has no safety glasses he's wearing a long sleeve shirt that could snag in the Press when the safety engineer gets through making it safe it depends on you and this man he's the man man the supervisor when you and I start taking dangerous shortcuts he's the one who teaches and says uh-uh do it right because he's the man or woman who has to investigate and make out the accident [Applause] [Music] report so that action can be taken by Department management to assure that the accident doesn't happen [Music] again now if you'll just look around you you'll see the safety engineer at work he begins with recommending safe design to protect that thin skin sack of bone and muscle you push around all day [Music] the safety engineer is instructor [Music] 2 he tells the supervisors and the supervisors tell us and our Aon [Music] backs between the safety engineer the supervisor and the maintenance department safety devices are kept [Music] safe but they can't do it all and some people just never Le [Music] [Music] [Music] go [Music] and by the way when you hear the explos or the crash or the yell the danger has not passed until the safety engineer says so [Music] [Music]
