Why we need safety management?
According to International Labor Organization,

• Around the world, millions of men and women

work in poor and hazardous conditions.

• People die as a result of occupational accidents or

work-related diseases – more than 2.78 million deaths
per year.
• Additionally, there are some 374 million non-fatal work-related
injuries and illnesses each year, many of these resulting in
extended absences from work.

There are clear, pressing reasons why businesses should effectively
manage health and safety:

1. Costs 2. Humanitarian 3. Profit 4. Prosecution

(Financial Cost) and Moral
Reason 1: Costs (financial)
The true cost of accidents is a lot higher than most people realise.
Cost of failure is not easy to calculate, but includes:
• Medical treatment
• Accident investigation
• Replacement labour
• Loss of reputation
• Compensation
• Increased insurance (premium)

Studies have shown that the true cost of accidents were as much
as 37% of the annual profit in one organisation – HSE
Reason 2: Humanitarian and Moral reasons
• Our lives depends on what we do at
work. As a human being We all
(Employers / Employees) have moral
obligation not to cause harm to
others. Employers have the moral
obligation towards their employees
and others.
Reason 3: Profit for the company
To improve…
 Productivity
- Less accidents = less down time = a more efficient business.
 Reputation
 Legal compliance
Reason 4: To avoid prosecution

Reason behind unsafe action & unsafe
condition:
The basic theory of accident occurrence –
1. An accident occurs due to an unsafe act or
unsafe condition or both.
2. Unsafe acts and unsafe conditions exist
because of human faults.
3. Faults of human are inherited due to
- Lack of knowledge and skill
- Lack of supervision
- Improper mechanical and physical
environment
Common safety issues in workplace:
In 2012, more than 65,000 cases
involving days away from work

2015 edition of the National
