CORE Bites Issue #48
Halloween (or Hallows' Even or Allhalloween or All Hallows' Eve) occurs this week and regardless of whether you have children yourself, or whether you partake in the annual festivities or not, you can't escape the reality that hoards of little goblins and gremlins and superheros and musical icons and movie characters (read "children") will be out and about this week trick or treating (or, for our readers in Europe, guising and souling) and having a great time.
While the costumes, antics, and pleas for "Trick or Treat?" are darling and fun to watch, it only takes one distracted child and one inattentive driver to simultaneously intersect to turn this fun event deadly.
As leaders of people (many whom have children themselves), we have a moral responsibility to keep safety top-of-mind for everyone—both inside and outside of the workplace—and not only for this week but for EVERY week. The HVAs in this issue of CORE Bites can be easily disseminated to your employees with a reminder that the safety practices listed should apply every day.
Our sincere thanks goes out to our friends at Salt River Project (Arizona, USA) for making this important message a Safety Minute topic during a recent meeting I attended. The HVAs listed below are borrowed (with a few minor modifications) from the list of Halloween Safety Practices presented at this meeting:
For Drivers:
What to Tell/Remind Children:
It only takes a few practical (and easy) steps to keep everyone safe!
I'd love to hear how this HVA works for you!
