Sixty Seconds of Safety
During 2008, most of us will attend or plan a large number of meetings. Take time at every meeting – even sixty seconds! – to further safety and preparedness. Here are some suggestions:
- Teach and/or practice a preparedness skill (first aid tips; whistle & flashlight safety code; Drop Cover and Hold)
- Point out safety features (shutoffs, exits, supplies)
- Gather information from staff (emergency contacts; special needs; helpful skillsets)
By making it a regular part of your normal staff meetings, you can help preparedness become an expected and respected part of your organizational culture.
From all of us at CARD, we wish you a safe, prepared and prosperous 2008!
