SAFETY
WHAT IS IT ?
• DEFINITION – THE CONDITION OF BEING
SAFE. FREEDOM FROM DANGER, RISK OR
INJURY
• SOMETHING WE LEARN? WHO?
• SOMETHING WE SEE? WHEN?
• A HABIT? HOW?
**An Attitude**
Most accidents are caused by unsafe acts.
• You work hard to create a safe workplace for your
workers and eliminate unsafe conditions.
• But what about employees' own unsafe behavior?
• If you examined your accident records for the past few
years, you'd likely find that the root-cause of most of
the accidents was unsafe acts rather than unsafe
conditions.
• If you read between the lines of the accident reports,
you might find that the workers involved in the
incidents had become complacent about safety.
• They'd gone on "autopilot" and stopped paying
attention to what they were doing.
• They'd taken shortcuts.
• They'd taken risks. They'd developed an "It won't
happen to me" attitude.
What could go wrong
• If you are not thinking about what could go wrong
every day, all day, while you work, you are not
going to be completely safe.
• You need to be trained to think ahead as we
approach each task and consider:
• What we are working with;
• What we are doing;
• Where we are going;
• What could go wrong;
Examine the substances –
• Equipment, procedures, and situations that are part of
their job and look for possible hazards.
• Remind yourself to be safe;
• Focus physically and mentally on your work;
• No matter how many times you may have done the
same job.
• Impress upon yourself the fact that accidents occur in
the blink of an eye.
• All it takes is one second of inattention, one moment
of carelessness.
Stop complacency in its tracks.
• Complacency on the job injures and kills.
• Spreads like a disease from one worker to another.
• One employee sees a co-worker taking a shortcut
and figures, "If he can do it, why can't I?"
• You can't afford to let complacency take over in your
workplace.
• Complacency is dangerous—as dangerous as any
machine, chemical, or other recognized workplace
hazard.
• Through a strong commitment to safety training and
awareness, you can create a safety culture.
• Emphasis on alertness
• Planning
• Hazard identification
• Problem solving and Injury prevention

HOW DOES
ATTITUDE
IMPACT OUR
LIVES?
ATTITUDE IS THE KEY
• A good attitude toward safety
is a key to preventing
unnecessary incidents and
injuries. Your attitude affects
your safety and the safety of
everyone around you, both at
work and at home.
ARE WE LEADERS OR FOLLOWERS?
• LEADERS – ONE THAT LEADS OR GUIDES
OR ONE WHO IS IN CHARGE OR IN
COMMAND OF OTHERS.
• FOLLOWER – A PERSON WHO ACCEPTS
THE TEACHING OF ANOTHER, A SERVANT
OR A SUBORDINATE, OR ONE THAT
IMITATES ANOTHER.
