 GLOSSARY OF TERMINOLOGY
Accident Undesired event giving rise to death, ill health, injury, damage or other
loss.
Dangerous An incident, which has the potential to cause injury, ill health, damage
Occurrence to property or environment.
Emergency An emergency occurring at the site/office/depot is one that may affect
several sections within it and or may cause serious injuries, loss of
lives, extensive damage to property or serious disruption outside the
works. It will require the best use of internal resources as well as
outside resources to handle it effectively. Usually this results due to
malfunction of the normal operating procedures. It may also be
precipitated by the intervention of an outside force such as a cyclone,
flood, and deliberate acts of arson or sabotage.
Evacuation Removal of residents and other persons from an area of danger.
Hazard Identification of un-desired events that could occur and usually the
Analysis estimation of the nature, characteristics and magnitude of the possible
loss/damage to life and property. The loss/damage, severity would be
analyzed and assessed for each hazard identified.
Hazard Source or situation with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or
ill health, damage to property, damage to workplace environment, or a
combination of these.
Hazard Provides information on available hazards on site and their nature.
Identification:
Incident: Event that gave rise to an accident or had the potential to lead to an
accident.
Near miss: An incident where no ill health, damage or other loss occurs.

On-Site An accident, which takes place on working site and its effects are
Emergency: confined to the site premises involving only the people working on the
site.
Probability: A number expressing the likelihood of occurrence of a specific event,
such as the ratio of the number of outcomes that will produce a given
event to the total number of possible outcomes.
Risk Analysis: It is a relative measure of the likelihood of various possible hazardous
events and consequences and enables the emergency plan to focus
on the greatest potential risk.
Risk: Combination of the likelihood and consequence(s) of a specified
hazardous event occurring.

1. APPROACH TO SAFETY HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT

It is the inherent property of a substance or an occurrence which has the
potential to cause loss, damage or injury to property, person or
environment.

5.4 Risk
It is the probability of the realization of the potential for loss, damage and

9
 It is the number of hours of employment including paid overtime and
training but excluding leave, sickness and unpaid overtime.

5.10 Fatality

Any work related or occupational illness resulting in death of the

individual irrespective of the intervening period.

'Delayed' deaths that occur after the incident are included if the deaths
were a direct result of the incident. For example, if a fire killed one
person outright, and a second died three weeks later from lung damage
caused by the fire, both are reported.
