For the breakroom wall.
"Each employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees."
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, § 5(a)(1). The General Duty Clause.
"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home — so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any map of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works."
Eleanor Roosevelt, "In Your Hands" address to the United Nations, 27 March 1958
"Quality means doing it right when no one is looking."
Henry Ford, My Life and Work, 1922
