Communication
"A person runs into a building and yells "Conflagration" will not get anywhere near the reaction of someone who yells "Fire." Good communicators know that they must adjust their vocabulary to their audience."
Slagle, R. (n.d.). Retrieved February 20, 2012, from county.org: http://www.county.org/resources/library/county_mag?county/132/communication.html

Injuries among Industry Distribution
As you see, much work needs to be done to change the culture and mindset of the workplace, the key to permanent results. We have demonstrated the human and monetary cost that is paid when safety is neglected. Change must come from the top down, and employees must be reminded frequently that safety-mindedness is expected.
The benefits are immense; we are confident our services will help Martin Engineering improve the culture of safety which leads in turn to a quality environment for all concerned.
