GET BACK TO BASICS! Focus on the details of specific hazards and work practices, you can easily forget to step back and look at the "big picture." Fundamentally, that means developing an all-around "safety attitude"--keeping safety in mind at all times and in all situations--not just at work, but also at home and on vacation. In fact, nearly 90 percent of fatal injuries and two-thirds of nonfatal but disabling injuries to American workers occur away from the job. Be alert to the most hazardous situations. Part of safety basics is knowing the most common causes of death and serious injury so that you can stay particularly alert to these possible hazards.

Why It Matters...

There are more than 100,000 accidental deaths per year in the United States, Think safety including close to 5,000 in the workplace.

More than 3 million Americans suffer disabling injuries on the job each year.

Emphasize the "secret weapon" against accidents. Actually, the secret weapon isn't really all that secret ... it's common sense! Remind employees to:

* Reading the label on a chemical container before using it * Wearing all required PPE whenever known hazards are present * Removing or avoiding any possible slipping, tripping, and falling hazards * Making sure flammable and combustible materials are kept away from sources of ignition * Never disable or circumvent safety devices, such as machine guards * Staying away from power lines or any type of energized electrical equipment * Asking a supervisor for help and guidance if they are not sure how to do a job safely

The second half of 2009 was one of highs and lows – moments of pride and happiness, tempered by tears and sadness for MacDill warriors lost. July got rolling with a bang, when months of hard work and preparation paid off for the members of the 6th Operations Group, which received not only an overall grade of “Mission Ready” on their 2009 Air Mobility Command Aircrew Standardization and Evaluation Visit, but received news they scored the highest of any Active Duty unit in two and a half years in Aircrew Performance by earning an “Outstanding.” All 47 of the in-flight check rides were graded “Q-1” (Passing), with no busts and eight KC-135 aircrew earning “Exceptionally Qualified” scores. “To put this in perspective, it takes 10 percent to get an ‘Outstanding’ Photo by Senior Airman Angela Ruiz rating and we had 17 percent,” said Col Jon Klaus, commander, 6th Op- Senior Master Sgt.
