To keep oneself safe does not mean to bury oneself. – Seneca (Seneca the Elder)

When you gamble with safety, you bet your life. – Author unknown

Every accident is a notice that something is wrong with men, methods, or material — investigate — then act. – Safety saying, circa early 1900s

One earnest worker can do more by personal suggestion to prevent accidents than a carload of safety signs. – Making Paper, January 1923, edited by E.R. Brown
