As a popular motivational speaker, Odie uses his unique experiences to connect with audiences and explain how to work safely in a high-risk and sometimes dangerous environment. In this program, Odie discusses the concept of calling a “knock it off” immediately when recognizing dangerous behavior, while his friend and fellow fighter pilot Wes Sharp encourages viewers to speak up and tell co-workers to “keep off the grass” when they witness an unsafe act.
- Anyone can call a knock it off, whether you’re fresh out of training or been with the company for 30 years.
- Anytime you hear a knock it off, you must call a time out and stop the work immediately.
- Once a knock it off has been called, you need to listen and reassess the situation to get everyone’s situational awareness up to speed before returning to work.
- We can’t rely on luck to save us from situations where a knock it off should have been called immediately.
- We must share close calls and other experiences that occur in the workplace because we are the only ones who know what really goes on when no one is looking over our shoulders.
- We should embrace a culture in which people feel compelled, if not duty-bound, to say something when they witness safety rules being broken no matter how silly or trivial it may seem.
