The primary goal of HSE management is to create a culture of safety by continuously assessing risks, implementing controls, and improving HSE performance to prevent harm to people and the environment. A safe and healthy workplace not only protects workers from injury and illness, it can also lower injury/illness costs, reduce absenteeism and turnover, increase productivity and quality, and raise employee morale. 2

11. Workplace Hazard A hazard is something that can cause harm if not controlled. The outcome is the harm that results from an uncontrolled hazard. A risk is a combination of the probability that a particular outcome will result and the severity of the harm involved. Accident: is  an event that has unintentionally happened, that results in damage, injury or harm . An incident is an event that has unintentionally happened, but this may not result in damage, harm or injury. Therefore, every accident can be an incident. However, not all incidents can be termed as an accident. Unsafe Conditions can be defined as workplace environment risks to workers that may or may not have been identified, such as biological, chemical, electrical, environmental, mechanical, and physical conditions. Unsafe Acts can be defined as an employee ignoring the prescribed safety standards or company policies. 11 Hazard, Risk and Outcome

27. Reasons Why Safety Is Important? Safety  is to be free from danger, risk, and injury. Accidents can happen at  work , but these accidents can be prevented or minimized if we all adopt and  practice  safety measures and precautions. It is important to think about safety when it comes to employment. Conclusion: Everyone should be making their best effort to become a success in his/her job and life. If someone cares for his family and friends, then he needs to practice safety in all he does, including at work. That’s because ethical values are at the heart of good safety performance. Protecting our environment from harm is important too because it is the right thing to do. When we think about safety, the first thing that comes to mind is protection from accidents and injury. But, safety also includes protecting our environment from harm. That’s why everyone needs to practice safety in their home, workplaces. And, when we all work together as a team, we are more likely to be as safe as possible, thereby making safety seen. 27
