Normally each month when I write my newsletter, I try and think of a relevant safety issue that has popped up in the news or something that one of my family or I have experienced that is Safety related.
But this month I just want to talk about how things have changed for us.
We live in Victoria and we are in an area that has
been put back into lockdown due to a second wave of COVID-19 outbreaks.
I’m a bit sad about this. Since March our Safety Speakers have been unable to visit workplaces. Last month (June), we started to receive some phone calls from companies that were starting to get busy and wanting to refocus on safety and stopping people getting hurt.
Then the lockdowns happened and everything turned to shit again!
But this time it was worse!
Politicians were blaming each other for it, the public were blaming the politicians, the Federal government was blaming the State government, different ethnic groups were blaming each other for not social distancing and security guards were rooting people that were meant to be in isolation and having no contact with anyone….. FFS!
Now we are in a situation where we HAVE to wear face masks when out in public and many people including us have a lot less work.
Is this a safety issue?
Fkn oath it is! I had a friend text my wife yesterday asking if she wanted to get together for a sneaky wine or two!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
If we don’t take this shit seriously more people are going to DIE!!!!
I’m not going to tell you what to do, you are not children, but I am going to ask you to really think about some of the things that you are seeing on the news and what you can do to stop it.
Some of you might remember that earlier this year I wrote about SBS television doing a story on CNBSafe and our business. It went to air in January and was on the SBS - Small Business Secrets TV show. It was a pretty positive show on what we do and how our business runs.
Last week we had a call from SBS asking if they could come and talk to us about how the Pandemic has changed things for us.
They came out and asked some questions and took more footage, it went to air on SBS World News last Saturday evening.
It brought home just how quickly things can change. One minute we are on TV in a positive feel good way, next minute we are talking about how bad things
are!
Life is a journey I guess.
