5. 1. What is a Safety:
Safety as defined freedom from those conditions that can cause injury to persons
including death Or damage to property or environment.


S : Stay
A : Alert
F : For
E : Every
T : Task
Y : You do…..

6. 2. Risk and Hazard
Risk :

The probability of any injury or loss occurring from the hazard

The possibility of a hazard actually causing harm as knows risk

Hazard:

Hazard is any source , situation or act with a potential for harm in terms of human in
Injury or ill health or a combination of these.

Hazard is a potential source of damage, injury or harm to a person or property.

7. 3. Accident, Incident & Near miss
Accident: An event that has unintentionally happened, that results in injury,
property damage or harm, sometimes both.

Incident: Its an unplanned event that results in human injury, environmental or
equipment damage or interruption to normal operations.

Near miss: Any event that does not lead to harm but does have the potential
to cause illness or injury or property damage. sometimes both.

8. Hazards Associated at Workplace
●Pressure hazards ( high pressure oil/gas reservoir, inside pipes and vessels, rupture in
pipeline)
●Ergonomic Hazards

9. 04. Unsafe Act & Unsafe Condition
Unsafe Act - Any behavior or action that can potentially cause harm or
Injury to oneself or others in the workplace.

Ex:- Working without authority,Using dangerous equipment,Using wrong equipment and Failure to
use PPE properly Etc.

Unsafe Condition are conditions that can cause harm to people,
Environment and property.

Ex:- Inaducate guards or barriers,Defective tools & equipment or materials,Hazardous
environmental conditions like gages,dusts,smokes,fume&vapors and Poor housekeeping Etc.

10. Unsafe Act & Condition

11. Safety Triangle / Heinrich’s Triangle/Bird Triangle

The accident triangle is known as
Heinrich triangle or Birds triangle. The triangle first
introduced by H.W Heinrich in 1931 and later
expanded by Frank E. Bird (1969), It shows the
relationships between Major, Minor and near miss.

The triangle proposes that accidents
of minor accidents are reduced then the
corresponding fall of Major accidents. The triangle
is regarded as a corner stone of 20
th
century work
place of health and safety of philosophy. Heinrich’s
Law has significant impact on the industrial safely
long before OHSA created.

12. Safety at Work



Work Safety is a set of

38. 13. Permit To Work (PTW)

A Work Permit is a written record that authorizes specific
work, at a specific work location, for a specific time period.
Permits are used for controlling and co-coordinating work to
establish and maintain safe working conditions.

They ensure that all foreseeable hazards
have been considered and that the appropriate precautions
are defined and carried out in the correct sequence. The
permit is an agreement between the issuer and the receiver
that documents the conditions, preparations, precautions,
and limitations that need to be clearly understood before
work begins.
