It's a book with 'Occupational Health & Safety' in mind. It's a philosophy using drawings and/ or words to teach people about staying safe, no matter what their age or educational background. You don't have to be a poet or writer to write safety messags; same as you don't need to be an artist of world renown to draw the pictures; you don't even need to be politically correct in what you say, although saying that, if you carry something too far then it goes into the category of discrimination. None of these three things save peoples lives, but people do and that is why it is so important to educate people of all ages about staying safe. It's a philosophy that can be tailor made for young or old. It's an easy concept, yet it has not been done quite like this before. Having spoken to health professionals about this project, they have been amazed and over whelmed by this project and the simplicity of it and even one health professional asked, "Why he had never thought of it before and then he wished that he had thought of this concept." So browse the pages, get some ideas and start being safe, because the life that you save may not be your own, but rather of someone in your family, friend or workmate. Lessen the odds...Reduce the risk...Be safe.
