With a smile

Stop; look; listen.

Slogan devised in 1912 to replace the old U.S. railway crossing signs of ‘Look out for the locomotive’.

Safety First

We must improve our ability to avoid dangerous chain reactions.

Chain reactions are most dangerous to pedestrians, bicyclists and those driving the most susceptible vehicles. Just as we keep the largest trucks off of certain roadways, we need to keep the largest companies from operating in areas that cannot support them.

Chemically, the equivalent to a snow avalanche is a spark causing a forest fire. The amount of space you have inbetween yourself and dangerous events is your margin of safety.

His thought is not to give flame first and then smoke, but from smoke to let light break out. Horace (65-8 B.C.)
