Examples of unsafe
acts include:
• Using the wrong tool
• Disabling safety devices
Unsafe conditions and unsafe acts usually
result from two factors
• Personal Factors, such as lack of knowledge or
skills, can lead to unsafe acts
• Job Factors, such as substandard equipment,
contribute to unsafe conditions
Employees are the most important factor
in eliminating unsafe acts in the
workplace
Some of the most
common unsafe
acts include:
• Horseplay
• Not using Personal
Protective Equipment
• Disabling or
bypassing safety procedures
Thereare two ways to help keep people
from committing unsafe acts: Through safety
education and training, and enforcement
With
proper instruction, training and
education, we can reduce accidents
When workers fail to follow the rules,
enforcement of the rules becomes
necessary
It’s
important that Accident Prevention is
part of reacting to an accident
To prevent future occurrences, accidents
are usually handled in
three stages:
• Accident Response
• Accident Investigation
• Corrective Actions
The first priority when responding to an
accident is to make sure other workers are
safe from harm and tending to anyone who
might have been injured
It’s important to secure the scene after an
accident, to make sure no one else gets hurt
It’s also important not to disturb anything
that could help in the Accident Investigation
An Accident Investigation is a standard part
of following up such workplace incidents
If you were involved in the accident, you’ll
be part of the Accident Investigation
Even if you weren’t involved, you might
be part of the Accident Investigation
Honesty is essential – lives could depend on
it
The final step would be to follow an
Accident Investigation with suggestions
for Corrective Actions
Your feedback and
participation are important
If you ever have
any questions, please ask
You are observed informally every day
A Job Safety Analysis is a formal
observation
There are three elements to a Job
Safety Analysis:
• Sequence of job steps
• Potential hazards
• Actions to prevent hazards
It’s
essential that each employee take an active
role in staying safe on the job
This means always being aware of the
consequences of choosing to take unsafe actions
No matter how many times you’ve done
something, it’s critical to observe each and every
safety step
You are the most important element in
working safely
Accidentsare caused by unsafe conditions and
by people committing unsafe acts
Knowledge and training help keep people from
committing unsafe acts
When an accident occurs, there will be:
• Accident Response
• Accident Investigation, and
• Corrective Actions
You are the key to accident prevention
