National Health and Safety month:
At the moment a period of irony.
One of ours just lost her lifelong sweetheart
In a workplace accident.
We may be dead of soul
But we band together
To support each other.
With her, we mourn.
We review our health and safety
Every year. Twice a year.
This time these reviews have a bitter tang.
Now they bear mortal relevance.
When people explain health and safety protocols
Listen to them.
It is bad enough to be maimed by stupidity.
It is bad enough to be injured because of recklessness or arrogance.
It is a worse injury to your loved ones if you die.
To ignore them would be to let her down.
To ignore them would be to dishonour him.
To ignore them would dishonour all
Who tragically lost their lives at work...
In a manner that was avoidable.
Dona eis requiem sempiternam...
Honour them by being safe at work.
