Do & Donts:
Do the do's not the don'ts! Being safe is like breathing - you never want to stop. Do your work with pride, put safety in every stride. Don't be a fool, cause safety is cool, so make that your rule. Don't be a fool, use the proper tool.

Don't be safety blinded, be safety minded.

Don't fix the blame, fix the problem! Don't learn safety by accident! Don't lose your head to gain a minute! Every accident - every - time if it's predictable it's preventable!"
