Safety: What's Your Role? - Concise

When it comes to having a successful safety program, we all have a role to play, and the part played by each employee is defined by his or her actions and behaviors. This program tells the story of two serious workplace incidents from the point of view of those involved. Viewers will learn to recognize the behaviors and actions that contributed to the incidents. For example, being a bad influence, risk-taking, complacency, rushing, and being timid about speaking up are all illustrated as traits or "roles" that undermine safety and contribute to workplace incidents. As the program progresses, viewers will learn that setting good examples, being receptive to safety advice, avoiding shortcuts, speaking up, and being a safety advocate are roles that prevent injuries and improve the overall safety culture. They are also asked to consider the part they are currently playing and recast themselves into a new role that will make a positive safety difference. Other points made by this program in
