SAFE-T FAST

Safety Awareness Foundational Excellence Training is what SAFE-T FAST, LLC is all about. Imagine you are the person in the story below using the FAST method.

• First, I make a goal to work safely. I do this by visualizing going home in the same way I came to work. I greet my family at the end of the day and they are happy to see me. I have no cuts that require a doctor to look at. I have all my fingers and toes.

• Next, I Act on my goal. I wear my Personal Protective Equipment, use proper lifting techniques, and eliminate hazards when I see them. I even clean up the coffee spill in the breakroom and close the cabinet doors so my coworkers don’t get hurt.

• As I go through my day, I Share safety with others. I see my coworkers doing something safely, and I tell them I notice them working safely. I see Wally not wearing a seatbelt on a forklift, and I stop him when safe to do so. I tell him my concerns about his safety, focus on the possible consequences, and get him to agree to wear the seatbelt moving forward. I have a safety discussion with him about other safety issues in the plant.

• After talking with Wally and my other coworkers, I Thank them for talking with me about safety.
