SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Basic Principle of Safety Management

• Safety takes priority over everything else.

• All industrial accidents are preventable.

• Safety is everyone responsibility.

Safety takes priority over everything else :

• On earth, there is nothing more precious than human life.
• Basis of all corporate activities are Employees.
• First priority must be given to safety to employees at anytime.
• So first priority is given always to human life !
• No good work without safety work environment.
• No good quality without good work.
• No productivity improvement without good quality.

   

There is no difference between superior & subordinate in respect of assuring safety.
There is no any situation where superiors are allowed to take unsafe actions.
Whoever takes unsafe action, everyone should point out & give warning at the spot.

All industrial accidents are preventable:

By examining the accidents already happened, it is proved that the accidents could be prevented if company took necessary actions at that time of accident.
All the labor accidents come from human error.
Industrial accidents occur because potential danger exist in current working environment.
Who created this unsafe environment ?
Unsafe environment not generated by itself.
Accidents occurring situations:
Difference between small accidents & heavy accidents is very little.

We must eliminate all of the small accidents to prevent heavy accidents.                 

 Heinrich Law:

                                                                                                

If dangers are ignored, one accidents out of 330 will be a situation that a worker should go to hospital. 29 accidents out of 330 will be such accidents level that worker put bandages on.
