Opportunities To Share Safety – Safety Speaker John Drebinger

January 27, 2011

How often do you think about safety? How often do you talk about it with your children? Look for opportunities every day to share safety with those you love. Just today, I was riding my bike and saw two adults riding with their children. Both children were wearing their bike helmets as it is a law in California that if you are under 18 you must wear a helmet. Unfortunately, the parents were sending a mixed message by not wearing helmets themselves. They were clearly making the statement that they were willing to follow the law yet they did not really believe in the importance of wearing a helmet. As a safety speaker these are painful moments.

If you saw something similar to this it would give you the opportunity to talk to your children about how important safety is and why. I told my daughter about it and let her know I appreciated how safe she was with her children and she took her own safety seriously, also.

Look every day for opportunities to share safety with those you love.
And if you are in corporate safety, let your employees know the value of doing this also.
