America’s birthday is here. Workers are off work. The company picnic. Coworker barbecue.
But don’t let your guard down. Be as conscientious about safety OFF the jobsite as you are ON.
1. Lighting fireworks. Wear the PPE . . . eye protection.
2. Loud bangs? It’s okay to use hearing protection. We won’t scorn you.
3. Light just one firework at a time.

4. Never attempt to relight a dud.
5. Don’t throw or point a firework toward people, animals, homes, coworkers, managers or vehicles.
6. Don’t give fireworks to the really small children.
7. Just like you would for a campfire, keep a supply of water close by. Many parts of the country are in drought.
Well, that went by fast. That’s why we call it The Safety Brief.
