Why "we" DON'T Care About Safety & Health

Sometime, as OSH Professional, it's difficult to sell the importance of OSH in the workplace. To convince management, to train employees and to explain to the contractors, we need some "personal" touch... as for me, the most important approach to sell Safety is through awareness... relate Safety from "common sense" & "common practice" approach that we experience it in our daily life...

so, some of the common questions & examples that I normally used to sell safety are:
1. Have anybody experience death or at least serious injuries before?? If yes, ask them to share with you & the others (if in the meeting or training session)
2. How many of you wearing a safety belt while you driving a car today??
3. How much is your life?
4. Your family/parent needs you more than the company :)
5. Newspaper cutting showing accident happen in the society etc
