This saying is very simple and uses something that we are all familiar with...the alphabet. It isn't specific to any particular circumstance or situation, and is one that is very easy to remember. It reminds the reader that many kinds of circumstances can present a threat to our safety and that we should always be conscious of that.

  • Don't learn safety rules simply by accident. (Author Unknown)

In this example, you are reminded that it's important to know and understand safety rules, and to follow them carefully. After a mishap has occurred, it's too late to backtrack and think about how you should have behaved. We have a responsibility to educate ourselves about safety issues and to take some responsibility for our own safety by making good choices about the way we will behave.

  • Don't put your life on the line. Think safety. (Author Unknown)

The consequences of either not knowing or not paying attention to safety rules may be serious, and that is what this example of safety sayings is trying to point out. It only takes a few moments of inattention or a bad decision to have severe consequences, that may end one's life or be life-changing in the form of serious injury.

  • Better a thousand times careful than once dead. (Proverb)

Sometimes, you feel you should proceed with caution but are afraid that someone else will judge your behavior and think badly of you. When it comes to personal safety or the safety of those around us, you can't be too careful. No one has ever literally died of embarrassment, but people have been killed or injured because they didn't want to appear to be too careful in front of others. You only have one life, and it's precious. Never apologize for making choices that are designed to preserve your safety.

  • Be proactive - not reactive - toward safety. (Author Unknown)

When you are proactive about safety, you are open to learning more about how to stay safe. It would be a mistake to assume that you can't learn anything more about safety issues, and after an accident has occurred, it is too late to think about the things you should have done instead.

  • Get a grip. To prevent a slip, use hand rails. (Author Unknown)

This safety saying is short and snappy, and serves as a great reminder that an accident can happen very quickly. We are all busy and it may be tempting to try to carry too many things while trying to navigate a set of stairs. A slip and fall has the potential to cause serious injuries, and if that happens, you will have no choice but to slow down. It's a far better choice to be safety conscious in the first place.

A Final Note

These safety sayings all have a lesson contained in them. Thinking of them as you go about your daily life is a good way to remind yourself to always be careful, because safety matters.
