 Just One
C.T. Simon

It takes one minute to think of a safety rule;

It takes one hour to hone a safety meeting;
It takes one month to have it implemented;
It takes one year to earn a safety award;
It takes one lifetime to have a safety worker;
But it takes one second to destroy it all;
With just one accident.
 This is a story about four people named Everybody,
Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done
and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because, it was
Everybody’s job. Everybody thought
Anybody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when
Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
