Ernest "Scrooge" Hungerfield and Jacob Marley thought following safety procedures was a waste of their precious time and they bullied or teased anyone they perceived as "wasting time for safety." One day, while performing a task in his usual unsafe manner, Marley is killed. The ghost of Marley is doomed to watch the ripple effects of his unsafe actions on himself and his co-workers; and explains to Scrooge that he too will be doomed to the same fate if he does not change his ways and embrace safety.
Marley's ghost tells Scrooge he will be visited by the
Spirits of Safety Past,
Safety Present and
Safety Future and he must learn valuable safety lessons from them to avoid the same fate. Upon his return to the real world, Scrooge vows to become a positive safety influence on others and that safety can be contagious. He learns that when safe choices are made in the present, the future is a much better place.
