What’s Wrong With This Picture? Don’t slip…
How many times have you been in a place where they had a yellow plastic cone in an area of high foot-traffic with the words, “Caution, wet floor…Cuidado, piso mojado,” and the floor was perfectly dry? It happens often enough that we walk right through the “wet area” without thinking about it.
More often than not, the only hazard is the one the cone creates as you try to maneuver around it.
How many times have you taken an exit ramp at a speed above the caution speed and lived to tell the tale? In fact, how many times do you even consider that you’re doing it?
Our disregard for warning signs is part of our make-up. Most times, it doesn’t create much of a problem. However, sometimes it creates big problems. I’m not suggesting we heed every sign. I am suggesting we raise our awareness about when we’re ignoring them because while all shouldn’t be believed, some shouldn’t be ignored.
