Safety engineering is a field that focuses on preventing accidents and lessening opportunities
for human error in engineered environments or in engineering design. It can be applied to
many disciplines, including aerospace, manufacturing, public works, and product design. Some
projects apply safety engineering principles to existing products or within completed
environments to improve safety and ensure code compliance. Others design features into the
system engineering that make safety an integral consideration from the start.
Most engineering work is done within a framework of guiding specifications and codes. These
guidelines develop as engineers and users find out what works and what does not work. Small-
scale product designs and large-scale transportation infrastructure projects alike apply safety
engineering principles based on what is learned from early development through usage. Testing
and modeling a product in development can provide clues to what needs improvement. While
reliability engineering will determine the likelihood that a product or system itself may fail,
safety engineering may identify hazards or dangers for the intended users.
2. Safety consists of exercising rules of safety to stay safe and to not be harmed; free from infliction
etc... Security is having a feeling of safety; precautions, to keep something safe, keeping something from
being stolen etc...
3. Safety Signs and Coulors
Safety signs and colour are useful tools to help protect the health and safety of employees and
workplace visitors.

Sign Categories
As shown in the table below, there are three basic sign categories used in the workplace:
regulatory
warning
information


















Sign Types
One of three sign types should be used to communicate a message:
symbol signs
symbol signs with text
text signs

































Safety Colours

While there is no legislation requiring the use of colour in the workplace, colour can be used to
indicate hazards or point out safety equipment.

Some Applications for Safety Colours

Safety colours are also useful in work areas, and on equipment and machinery. The safety
colours and their meanings are listed below, based on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
standard Z535.1-2006.
