Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the
condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual,
financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological,
educational or other types or consequences of failure, damage,
error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be
considered non-desirable

4
This can take the form of being protected from the event or
from exposure to something that causes health or economical
losses. It can include protection of people or of possessions.
Instead, when you hear the word safety, think of it as a word
that applies to the way you do everything in life. Think of it as a
procedure to keep you from harm.

5
the word safety refers to your freedom from danger, injury
and damage, and to your personal security. The word safety has
been used so often that many of you may think of it as a
"Preaching Word", or a word that forces you to alter your ways
or change bad habits.

An Accident:
An accident is an incident plus its consequences; the end of product
of a sequences of events or actions resulting in an undesired
consequences(Injury, Property damages,interruption,delay).

An accidents can be defined more formally as an undesired event,

which results in physical harm and property damage, usually
resulting from contact with a source of energy above the ability of
the body or structure to withstand it.

9
An Injury: An injury is thus a consequences of an incident-but not
the only possible one. it has been shown that hundreds of incidents
occurs in the construction industry for every one that causes injury
or loss.
Hazard ;Hazard means the inherent property or ability of some
thing to cause harm –the potential to interrupt or interfere with a
process or person. Hazards may arise from interacting or
influencing components for example two chemical interacting to
produce a third

10
Risk: Risk is the chance or probability of loss, an
evaluation of the potential for failure .it is easy to
confuse the terms Hazards and risk but a simple way to
remember the difference is that hazard describes
potential to harm, risk is the likelihood that harm will
result in the particular situation or circumstance,
coupled with a measure of the degree of severity of
that harm.
