If you truly believe that safety is important in your work at home or anywhere else,there is no place for these two phrases safety first and safety is our number one priority to do a job safely, our goal is to complete it without accident or injury.but the slogans safety first and safety is our priority will not help us achieve this goal.

Your employer is not in business to make you be safe or to keep you safe,there's no doubt that they want you to go home safe and healthy every day, but the company's priorities revolve around different goals,just as your goal is to make money in the form of a paycheck.

Slogans like safety first and safety is our priority to discourage personal responsibility.because safety begins and ends with you,is it reasonable to think the someone would hire you to do a job.and then tell you that nothing is more important to them than your personal safety of course not.
