A Careful Man's Creed

A Careful Man's Creed.

I believe that the greatest satisfaction in life is to do good work.

I believe that work is not well done unless it is safely done.

I believe that I owe it to myself, to my family, and to my employer to be always on guard against accidents and thereby save the suffering and loss they cause.

I believe it is my duty to protect my fellow workers as far as possible, by word and deed, so that they will not get hurt.

I believe that the constant practice of Safety First is the best possible protection against accidents.

I believe in using all the mechanical safety guards that are available and in placing no faith in chance.

I believe in putting into daily practice the safety principles in which I believe so that my example may influence the habitually careless to adopt the safe and careful way in carrying out their daily work.

I believe that as almost all accidents are, in the last analysis, preventable, that it is my imperative duty as a man and citizen to practice and advocate Safety First so that m'y country may reap the full economic value of my life and work.
