WHAT IS SAFETY?
HOW TO BE SAFE?
SAFETY is……
About an estimate of 2% of the total number of all accidents are natural causes
(acts of God) such as lightning storms, floods, etc.
Unsafe personal characteristics may lead the individual to perform an unsafe act
or to allow an unsafe condition that may result to accident.
The elimination of unsafe acts and unsafe conditions, on the other hand, offers a
relatively simple and effective means of preventing accidents.
One of the main reasons for investigation is to determine reasons for the event
occurring, and to find means of preventing similar occurrence.
Accidents are of a more serious nature than incidents, however an incident is
often a potential accident, and investigation of incidents can often lead to better
accident prevention.
Safety is not something you can take or leave alone. It is not an activity that is
precipitated in only when one is being watched or supervised. Safety is not
posters, slogans, or rules; nor it is movies, meetings, investigations or inspections.
Safety is the awareness of one’s environment and actions all day, everyday.
To do this does not require genius, a Ph.D., or even a title or rank. All it requires is
an educated intelligence and a reasonable amount of native ability to see, hear,
smell, and think.
