1.Safety education is the responsibility of all staff in the school, including teaching and non-
teaching staff, through the formal and informal curriculum. ... Safety education can enable
children and young people, and their parents/carers, to put effectivesafety measures into
practice.

Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected from
harm or other non-desirable outcomes. Safety can also refer to the control of recognized
hazards in order to achieve an acceptable level of risk.

Preparedness refers to a very concrete research-based set of actions that are taken as
precautionary measures in the face of potential disasters. These actions can include both physical
preparations (such as emergency supplies depots, adapting buildings to survive earthquakes and so
on) and trainings for emergency action. Preparedness is an important quality in achieving goals and
in avoiding and mitigating negative outcomes.

An emergency is a situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property,

or environment.[1] Most emergencies require urgent intervention to prevent a worsening of the
situation, although in some situations, mitigation may not be possible and agencies may only be able
to offer palliative care for the aftermath.

An accident, also known as an unintentional injury, is an undesirable, incidental, and an

unplanned event that could have been prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been
recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence. Most scientists who study unintentional injury
avoid using the term "accident" and focus on factors that increase risk of severe injury and that
reduce injury incidence and severity.

2. Some people lack of safety awareness because theyre not following instructions and careless in
what they do.

3. We can prevent accidents by being alert always. Don’t rush your work, wear safety gears, follow
instructions, pay attention, follow emergency drills, and insist upon proper training.
