An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before. Read the paper, watch the news, look around…you will be constantly reminded what a little bit of prevention can do. From small things, like making sure your car has oil, to large things, like using the proper precautions to prevent oil from gushing out of the center of the earth, prevention saves a lot of cost, confusion, frustration and productivity.


In the totally biased opinion of a marketing person working for a safety training company, I know that safety training makes a difference. Sure, it’s important to ensure you are receiving a return on your investment, and most importantly that the training is EFFECTIVE. But can you calculate how many accidents, injuries, or damage to property or equipment you can prevent? Not really, unless you are a safety wizard with a crystal ball (which is sweet and you can stop reading this now). For the rest of us, we have to be cautious, aware and know what to do to prevent the bad stuff from happening in the first place.

I think every training program in the Summit library is important. However, this time of the year, with hurricane season and fire season, and summertime in general, three very important programs come to mind. Bottom line, these should be in your training library.

- Disaster Readiness 

- First –Aid

- Fire Prevention 

Give your workplace a plan for prevention and the know-how to react accordingly in the event of an accident. You can always preview our training programs online for free or request a demo by calling 800.842.0466.
