5. Safety is an important aspect of any product
or business activity, and in daily life
everybody will have some idea of what safety
means.
What does it mean that a product or process
is safe?
Can anything be 100% safe?
And if not, are there any criteria to determine
how safe a product or process should be?
6. 1. Identify Hazards & Assesses Risks
2. Identify Desired People Requirements
3. Identify Compliance Requirements
4. Ensure Safe Physical Work Environment
5. Develop Safe System of Work
6. Assesses Competency
7. Monitor & Review Performance
7.
8. According to Sklet (2006), factors that prevent
transitions between phases in the accident
sequence may be regarded as safety barriers.
The concept of safety barriers, which is often
related to an accident model known as the
energy model. The basic principle of the energy
model, which was originally introduced by
Gibson (1961), is to separate hazards (energy
sources) from victims (vulnerable targets) by
safety barriers (Haddon 1980).
