We always used Dupont's TAKE TWO safety course.

"TAKE TWO" means that a person can work more safely by taking just two minutes to think through a job before getting started.

T - Talk: Have I talked to everyone involved with this job?
A - Action: Do I know the proper actions I need to follow to do this job safely?
K - Knowledge: Do I have the proper knowledge to do this job safely?
E - Equipment: Do I have the proper equipment, including proper personal protective equipment, to do this job safely?

It all sounds a bit corney at first but once everyone is onboard all you have to do is hold up two fingers and the safety aspects are reinforced.

Unfortunately, these days I seem to take 10, as in hours, and don't do the job at all.

Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone.
