It's human nature to take the easy way out, isn't it?
"Ton much trouble."
"Can't be bothered."
"It's only temporary."
People can find many reasons to short cut safety for convenience sake. Strange, too, how often nothing happens and we are encouraged to believe we can always get away with chance taking!
Unfortunately, safety by chance brings dis aster sooner or later. Luck runs out and the short cut turns out to be the quickest way to an accident.
Actually, accident prevention is a planned "best way" method of doing anything . . . whether it's working, driving, participating in recreation or just plain loafing. The safe way is the best way and the onlv way!
The TAKE THE EXTRA STEP special em phasis program points up the fact that safety is deliberate. It just doesn't happen by chance. And it isn't minimum safety -- only what the OSHA standard demands, only what the rule book calls for. Safety needs THE EXTRA STEP--avoiding the short cut, going beyond the bare minimum of rules, giving the extra thought and dedication that is the hallmark of a successful accident prevention effort.
How do you convince employees to take the extra step for safety?
First, you must get their attention. Theme programs such as TAKE THE EXTRA STEP are designed to provide visibility to your safety program much in the fashion of an advertising campaign.
Whether it's soup or soap ... advertising sells. It can sell safety, too!
Repetition of a theme or slogan, backed up by meaningful suggestions, is the formula for getting an idea implanted in everyone's consciousness and for spurring them to action.
KNOWING IS NOT ENOUGH
Often job instructions and safety rules pro vide the basic essentials to help prevent accidents. Such instructions are usually based on standards, past experience or common practices. Sometimes, though, this is not enough. Frequently, some situa tions need to be sidestepped or an extra step for safety taken ... to be absolutely sure of procedures or to double check that an important step has not been overlooked.
Omitting the extra precaution--the ounce of prevention -- is a mistake many accident victims
make. If you don't think so . . . ask the person who has just had an accident. The reply will often be, "If I had only checked to make sure." Or perhaps, "If I had it to do over again, it would be different."
Sure it would! Hindsight is 20-20 in recog nizing the step omitted that would have made the difference.
So that's what this emphasis campaign is all about . . . awareness beyond the rules, taking the extra step.
HOW TO USE AN EMPHASIS THEME
How can you use the theme idea to improve or reinforce your safety program?
First, you must decide what accident prob lems are the most critical. Only you can do this, based on your own accident experience.
Good accident investigation and reporting provide the foundation for fact finding and mistake analysis. And fact finding is much more productive than fault finding.
Accident experience can provide facts, but you don't have to wait for accidents to start on the road to safety. Organize a hazard hunt! Find out how conditions or employee behavior can spring the acci dent trap. Job analysis for safety is an extra step that provides fact finding in a positive way.
Job safety analysis is that extra step that helps you select the shortest path to accident pre vention practiced by safety professionals everywhere.
Second, determine from your accidents and job safety analysis just what countermeasures must be taken to safeguard your employees.
Next take the training step. Investment in training helps protect workers and profit dollars.
One step for safety can prevent a costly acci dent detour... a detour that results in idle time, lost production, costly medical expense, increased insur ance and a lot more trouble than any company can really afford.
Pinpoint your safety targets--the most fre quent, the most costly, the most damaging incidents that have happened or could happen. Give priority to special emphasis on the solution to those problems.
One approach is to select emphasis areas of fered in this program planning guide. The subjects cover the most frequent types of mishaps reported to the National Safety Council every year.
By establishing monthly topics, you will pro vide variety and interest. Make your special emphasis items meaningful. Help your people to relate to the problems. Point out ways such occurrences can be prevented.

(
A few starter ideas are indicated for each topic. By using the Council's Catalog-Poster Direc tory and the many references found in the Council's library of accident prevention manuals, you can de velop a program that best fits you.
One of the first steps you will take for safety begins with your hazard hunt. The Council's SelfEvaluation Checklists will help you start on the road to discovery that can pay off handsomely in your campaign.
HOW TO USE THE CAMPAIGN MATERIALS
Your first step is to plan the campaign. Allow at least 30 to 60 days lead time before launching it. The following suggestions may be helpful in your planning:
1. Block out the program that fits your needs.
2. Obtain program, budget and other ap provals from management.
3. Establish a workable timetable that cov ers the targets you have chosen.
4. Organize your campaign--materials, tim ing, etc.
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
1. How much ground should be covered? 2. How long should the campaign run? 3. Who and what should be involved? 4. How much money do I need? 5. What steps should be taken to carry out
the campaign?
WHAT APPROVALS ARE NEEDED?
Get program, budget and other approvals from management. They should include:
1. Program needs. 2. Itemized campaign objectives. 3. Allotment of time and personnel. 4. Estimated cost. (Be realistic and include
man-hours, planning time, meeting time, work interruptions, etc.). 5. Estimate cost-benefit factors to help sell the program to management.
(
ESTABLISH A TIMETABLE
Provide adequate lead time to: 1. Organize your campaign strategy. 2. Order and receive materials. 3. Prepare employee publication support. 4. Organize and train members of the cam
paign team (including supervisor train ing). NOTE: Use the check-off system to avoid oversights and to stay on schedule. The following suggested check list can be used.

DESCRIPTION
a) Management announcements (see attached copy)
b) Employee publication articles (see suggested copy)
c) Take the Extra Step 16mm color film. d) Take the Extra Step employee booklet.
e) Take the Extra Step banners-- indoor and outdoor.
f) Take the Extra Step posters. g) Take the Extra Step scoreboard. h) Take the Extra Step lapel buttons.
i) Take the Extra Step pocket protector.
j) Take the Extra Step hard hat sticker.
k) Take the Extra Step bumper strip.
DATE SCHEDULED
ORGANIZE YOUR CAMPAIGN
The extra step for safety campaign should involve all levels of management. Every manager and supervisor should participate. Be sure to follow up. Make sure that everyone participates as intended.
Set appropriate time intervals between the initial announcement and the featured safety topic of the month. Too-frequent change will not provide complete saturation. Leaving too much time between topic changes can be bad, too. Th suggested pro gram allows one month for each topic.
SC 10462
LAM011678
CAMPAIGN SAFETY TOPICS
Following your announcement of the program (about two weeks), introduce the first of the safety topics. These can be rearranged to provide timeliness and seasonal support depending on the time of the year your program is launched. Holiday topics, vaca tion and motor vehicle subjects are best scheduled when they are appropriate.
In addition to the special campaign materials, the National Safety Council Catalog-Poster Direc tory and the National Safety Council's National Di rectory of Safety Films provide a wealth of audio visual aids, training aids and booklets that can be used to supplement the special campaign materials.
There are slide shows available to cover most topics and safety brief leaflets can be used to rein force them.
Use additional posters, POP posters and booklets that are available as needed. Many of these are listed among supplementary selections in the topic outlines.
In addition to the campaign topics you will want to conduct special supervisory training. This will, of course, cover responsibilities of supervisors in the campaign.
1. FALLS
Falls lead the list each year as the most frequent cause of accidents and injuries. Walking-working surfaces, footwear, spills and haste are most often identified with falls.
There is also an obligation to protect visitors, customers and others on your property. Falls most frequently are the reason for liability judg ments.
Take every means to insure that the steps taken by employees and guests do not lead to accidents.

4. GUARDING
Most people think of guarding as something you do to machines. That's true enough, and many machine guarding problems still exist despite at tempts to design hazards out of equipment and provide built-in safeguards.
But machines are not the only place guards are needed. Guarding should also relate to protecting employees and the public from hazardous areas or conditions in the plant, plant grounds and service areas. Take the extra step to guard against those kinds of accidents.

5. PERSONAL PROTECTION
The extra step for safety theme is a natural to emphasize the need for eye, foot, hearing and other personal protection. Employees should get in the habit of wearing personal protection wherever and whenever it is needed.
Get them to take the extra step to use eye pro tection, foot protection, hearing protection with out fail.
If your personal protection program has been limping along, now is the time to rejuvenate it. Are your methods to get employees to wear per sonal protection effective? If not, now is the time to find out about programs that have successfully met this problem.

6. HEALTflfHAZARD
Although health hazards have perhaps received less attention than injuries in the past, special emphasis by regulatory agencies have focused sharply on the subject in recent years.
Events have spotlighted the need to better pro tect employees from environmental hazards. Discomfort or chronic ailments from prolonged exposure to conditions injurious to health have led to this increased emphasis.

7. HAZARD HUNT (INCLUDING OFFICE HAZARDS)
If hunting for hazards could be as popular as prospecting for gold, we could rest a lot easier about unsafe conditions that lead to accidents.
Unfortunately, the search for accident producing problems is an extra step for safety that too often no one finds time to do. Yet hazard hunts are an important step in accident prevention. If you wait until an OSHA compliance officer appears, it could be embarrassing--as well as expensive.
While you're at it, don't overlook offices. "Nice, safe offices" have their share of injuries--pri marily from haste and the human element.

8. VEHICLE OPERATION
The motor vehicle collision is just as costly when it occurs to a valued employee in his own car on his own time as it is to an employee operating a company motor vehicle. Again, take the extra step to cover all drivers--your sales and super visory people as well as your commercial drivers who operate trucks, buses or other passenger conveyances.
Remember, more than 90 per cent of drivers still have not received defensive driver training. Why not make sure yours are not among them?

9. FIRE PROTECTION AND ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
Once again, it is the extra step for safety that counts when it comes to preventing fires or checking electrical equipment.
Fire destroys property, people, jobs and produc tion. Fire prevention is a "must" if your cam paign program is to be complete.
Smoking and bad housekeeping rank high in con tributing to fires. Fires do not start by them selves and they often go undetected until they become unmanageable.
Proper fire protection procedures should be de veloped and evacuation practiced on a regular basis.

10. OFF-THE-JOB AND RECREATION
Many people use their free time to pursue recrea tion or to carry out home improvement projects. Unfortunately, these pursuits frequently end in painful and disabling injuries.
Safety rules, readily obeyed at work, are often violated at home. Falls, bums and fractures, as well as sprained backs, lead the off-the-job mis haps.
The ski enthusiast in a cast gets the publicity, but almost every type of recreation from bowling to fishing claims its victims, most of whom suffer from the "too" factors:
Too much . . . too soon (exertion, that is). Too much enthusiasm for too little skill. Too little personal protection. Too much pride to take it easy.
If you omit off-the-job hazards from your cam paign, you have overlooked a leading reason for employee "down time." Most companies that keep off-the-job records find that this is so.

11. HOUSEKEEPING
Housekeeping is one of the most neglected ele ments of many safety programs. Just a few "spoilers" can wreck an otherwise successful ef fort to achieve--
"A place for everything ... and everything in its place!"
Too often people fail to relate poor housekeeping to accidents, but accident investigation often re veals how important a contributing factor it is.
Whether it's tools, waste, scrap or just plain packing material, cluttered work areas can be hazardous--and a fire hazard.
Use the campaign to give special emphasis to this age-old problem. Good housekeeping should never be taken for granted.

The machine age has never replaced manual operations--and it probably never will. Hand and portable power tools figure heavily in the acci dent picture. Even machines require tools for repair and servicing.
The proper tool for the job, and its proper use, servicing and storage--all are important in an accident prevention program. Accident reports point to this special area of emphasis on the extra step.

OPEN LETTER TO EMPLOYEES
Labor-saving and step-saving devices are al ways popular with people. Some devices even help us turn our television sets on and off, change chan nels and adjust the picture from our easy chairs. Our society is tuned into the "take the easy way" phi losophy.
Nevertheless, we're asking each of you to "take the extra step--for safety."
That extra step won't require a physical step necessarily. All this program asks is that you take the extra step beyond the minimum demands of safety. We want you to recognize that "good enough" is not good enough--to think about the extra step that often means the difference between safe work and an accident.
No order is so important or the service ren dered so urgent that we can afford to omit any step vital to safety.
I pledge to take that extra step for safety. Won't you?
President
ANOTHER OPEN LETTER TO EMPLOYEES
On July 20,1969, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon in the most dramatic moment in the history of space exploration.
You probably remember what he said when he stepped out of the lander:
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
Although none of us will probably ever have an opportunity to take such an historical step, we are all in a position to take a giant step for ourselves. We want you to join in a pledge to take that extra step so necessary for safety.
Take that extra step ... for safety. For your own sake.
President
MEMORANDUM TO SUPERVISORS
To All Supervisors: The "Take the Extra Step" campaign can
give our safety program the attention and enthu siasm needed to reduce our injury experience to meet our established goal this year.
LAM011G85
However, every supervisor has to anticipate that some additional time and effort will be required. You will need to arrange your schedule in order to plan for and carry out the special events as they are scheduled during the year.
We will keep you fully informed of our plans and request your complete cooperation.
President
SUGGESTED NEWS RELEASE
The________ __Company has announced the launching of a new safety campaign, "Take the Extra Step." The program is designed to allow the company to stress a specific hazard on a monthly timetable.
According to --------------------------------- , the "Take the Extra Step" campaign will call the em ployees' attention to the fact that they should be aware of the additional things they can do to ensure the safety of themselves and their fellow employees. A good safety record is made one day at a time by each employee, supervisor and member of manage ment taking the extra step. While the main stress of the campaign is safety on the job, it will also cover hazards and activities employees face off the job.
Vincent Tofany, President of the National Safety Council, has said that laws and regulations will not ensure a safe environment. They should be considered the minimum and only the basis for an ongoing safety program.
______________ states, "the Company subscribes to this philosophy and feels that the "Take the Extra Step" campaign will make a substantial contribution to improving our safety program."
MEMORANDUM TO SUPERVISORS
You have been issued a Take the Extra Step scoreboard to be mounted in a prominent place in your department.
The scoreboard is designed for posting your best previous consecutive accident-free days and your current number of days without a recordable accident or illness. Naturally, we hope every depart ment will beat its record. Special Take the Extra Step campaign items will be given to the employees of each department that beats its previous record.
You will use OSHA reporting standards of a "recordable injury or illness" and count only "con secutive work days" without such an incident. Every recordable injury or illness (fatals, lost workday ac cidents and recordable nonfatal cases without lost work days) will cause the current record to begin over again.
If a delayed death or delayed lost time occurs because of an earlier injury or illness, the original accident date will be used for scoring.
For example:
An employee reports an injury for which he receives first aid on May 1. On June 15 he is hospitalized for infection of the original in jury.
If the department had a continuous safe rec ord of 30 days as of May 1 and 74 days as of June 15, the record would be broken on May 1. If no additional accidents had occurred be tween May 1 and June 15, there would be 44 consecutive work days of current record on June 15.
Failure to report an accident or illness will disqualify the department.
This notice should be posted for all employees to see.
We sincerely hope you beat your record by taking time to be safe.
Safety Department
POST CAMPAIGN POSSIBILITIES
You may find that interest stimulated by the Take the Extra Step program will support a con tinuation of the theme.
If so, additional subjects and training ma terials are available from the National Safety Coun cil. Check your National Safety Council catalogs for additional program aids.
