In 1984, Sam Kinison, comedian and ex Pentecostal preacher, got his breakthrough on Rodney Dangerfield's 9th Annual Young Comedians special on HBO. He did a skit on World Hunger. See link below.
He told of the problem in a quiet voice. He noted the cruelty of the hungry child on the TV commercial. He wondered why the film crew didn't give the kid a sandwich. He presented his idea of how to stop world hunger. It was to stop sending food. Instead send U haul trailers, suitcases, anything to get them to move out of the desert and go to where there was food. In his inimitable way he pretends to pick up sand. He says nothing will grow here. "A hundred years from now it'll still be sand." "Go to where the food is" he screams. We can learn from the style of Kinison and other comedians. To the point real open-minded thinking. Simple word pictures.
Much of safety is wasted money and wasted effort. How much time and money is spent on training workers to know all the different types of fire extinguishers when their worksite, if it has an extinguisher, has only a type C? And the video in the course does not tell the workers where their fire extinguisher is located.
Cowboy Safety is an attitude of looking at the real hazards and planning for a real incident.
