I define Safety as the act of being safe and well preserved from dangers, injuries, and detrimental occurrences.

As at the time of writing this article, I'm somehow unhappy due to how i have been seeing and hearing about people not taking their safety as important as other things. They forgot that one's safety must be the first thing he or she must consider before taking any action or step.

I will like to tell you two of my experiences whereby some people took their safety with levity hand, and ended up facing the consequences.

First experience:

There was this factory worker that nearly lost his life last week Monday at his place of work, reason been that he didn't consider his safety first before taken action. This was how the incidence happened.... The factory was a mini one, it wasn't an advanced one, they don't have automatic machines that could help them protect their production process perhaps electricity trip off, ...less i forget, what they do there was the manufacturing of polyurethane foams (mattresses)... So, as the electricity tripped off, this worker, because of he didn't want what they were producing to be faulty, so that the factory would not run at lost, he ran straight to where he would switch on the electricity back, but on getting there i forgot to take the necessary precautions before switch it on, unfortunately he got electrocuted, if not that people quickly came over to rescue him, he would have lost his life.

Lesson:

No matter the zeal and passion you have for your work, no matter how huge the wages/salaries you are collecting is, never carry out actions at the expense of your own safety. Your safety should be number one, consider it before any other thing. Prevention is better than cure, Its always best to be safe rather be receiving sorry responses from people. Generally, in everything you do, please ensure your life and body are in safe positions against accidents.

Another Experience:

Having seen how some drivers and bike riders over speed in my present place of residence, my mind became saddened, because i did not want any injurious thing to happen to them, i even wished i could be given an opportunity by the government to have a public talk with this people, to give them orientation about their safety, because if they continue to over speed, sooner or later , they might get involved in accidents that might take their lives, just like the one i have seen with my eyes before, where the car driver over sped and went to collide with a moving lorry, the most painful thing was that he had his wife and all his children in the car that day, some of lost their live instantly, before the rest could be rushed to the hospital, they lost their lives too, due to the excessive bleeding from their veins and large cuts on their heads and other parts of their bodies. You see how the recklessness of the driver made the rest to lose their live!

So, my dear reader, ensure that you don't over speed oh! Consider your safety first, you might have the thought of been in a hurry, but never let the hurry make you drive or ride beyond the normal speed. For every journey there is always a destination, and no one can run farther than his destination. Please safety is important.
