The script
Welcome to Module One: Safety Starts With You.
Over the next fifteen minutes, we’ll cover the basics every team member needs to know, whether you work on a warehouse floor, in a lab, or at a desk.
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to do three things. Spot common hazards. Report them the right way. And know exactly what to do in an emergency.
Let’s start with a simple idea. Most workplace injuries aren’t caused by rare, dramatic events. They’re caused by everyday things. A wet floor. A cable across a walkway. A box lifted the wrong way.
That’s actually good news, because everyday hazards are the easiest ones to fix.
Here’s the most important rule in this course: if you see something unsafe, say something. You will never be in trouble for reporting a hazard in good faith.
Throughout the module, you’ll see short scenarios. Pause the video whenever you need to, and take your time with the questions.
Ready? Let’s walk through your first scenario.

The teleprompter scrolls at the speed you set in words per minute. Tick "Record audio while reading" to capture a take; the audio stays in your browser until you download it.
Coaching notes
- When you list the three objectives, "Spot common hazards. Report them the right way. And know exactly what to do," give each one a slight lift and a clean pause so learners can mentally check them off.
- Make "A wet floor. A cable across a walkway. A box lifted the wrong way." feel concrete. Picture each hazard as you say it instead of reading a list.
- "If you see something unsafe, say something" is the one rule you want people to remember. Slow down and lean into it with sincerity, not sternness.
Try it three more ways
- Read it for a group of teenage summer workers, keeping it upbeat without talking down to them.
- Perform it as a seasoned safety supervisor who has seen real accidents and means every word.
- Narrate it at a brisk, efficient pace for busy professionals who want just the facts.
