 Defining Health and Safety

• Health is defined as both physical and mental wellbeing.

• Ill health can include physical injuries and medical ailments.

• Safety is the control of unplanned events.

12/20/2020 4
Overall Aims & Objectives of Health & Safety
Induction
• To ensure safety requirements are appreciated by all employees of The
Electranet Group & Dashti Company

• To enable you to identify hazards that you are exposed to and control these
hazards.

• To enable you to seek positive improvements in your own health & safety
through education.

12/20/2020 5
 Why Are We Doing This?
• Humane - An employee should not have to expect that by coming to work they
are risking life or limb, and nor should others be affected by their undertaking.

• Economic - legal fees, fines, compensatory damages, investigation time, lost

production, lost goodwill from the workforce, and lost goodwill from customers.

• Legal - We have a duty under the law to ensure, so far as is reasonably

practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all our employees.

In other words, the degree of risk in a particular job or workplace to be

balanced
needs against time, trouble, cost and the physical difficulty of taking
measures to avoid or reduce the risk. What the law requires here is what
good
management andare
common sense wouldmeasures
lead you oto ackle
do anyway: that is, to
at what the risks and take sensible
them. t t
