DERIVATION OF THE CONCEPT OF SAFETY

 

Thus from the above discussion of struggles of –

 

1.      Dead Vs. Live resources,

2.      Health Vs. Wealth and

3.      Industrialisation Vs. Accidents,

 

- and from the reply of following questions:

 

1.         What are  more  important?  Dead  or Jive resources? A machine or its creator? A material or its user? Money or its beneficiary?

2.         Should people die or meet with accidents in a race for wealth?

3.          Should hazards and risks be ever increased with the growth of industries?

 

  - What ultimately derived is the need, importance and fundamental understanding of the 'Concept of Safety' only.

 

            People want both-dead and live resources, health and wealth and industrialisation and employment - but nobody wants accidents. This becomes possible if and only if the concept of safety is understood and followed.

 

            To maintain safety of people and to follow safe work practices in safe working conditions is the only way to prevent and control the hazards of environment (including industry). Therefore it is most important to realise, study and apply the concept of safety in every walk of life, particularly in industries.

    

Following this basic concept of safety, the concepts of total loss control, total loss prevention and hazard control technology have been developed. .Risk assessment, safety audit, various engineering, medical and administrative safety measures are developed and followed to implement this concept of safety.
