ByRuth Kiefer, ARM
Loss Control Manager
I’d like to take a moment to explain the reason why my staff and I take safety very seriously when we survey your facilities. Our time doing this job has taught us one thing, that when things go wrong, they are quick and unforgiving. During our safety walkthroughs of your facilities, we try to encourage you to address certain hazards, we may sound like broken records at times, and there is a clear and fateful reason why we do. Injuries and deaths occur all the time in our industry. It is real. We see it first hand, we investigate it, we analyze the data, and we crunch the numbers. It may be just a story that you read, a highlight on the nightly news, but these are real people, that could have been your own employee. Or perhaps have been one of your employees.
