SAFETY PRINCIPLESAccidents are preventable?

Nothing we do is worth getting hurt for?

HSE - S.Siva

There is no compromise or trade-off when it comes to SAFETY?

• Responsibility to self • Responsibility to family

• Responsibility to not endanger co-workers and others• Responsibility to productivity and health of the employer

REMEMBER WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY…..?

CURRENT SITUATION ….

4% of annual global GDP, or US$2.8 trillion, is lost due to the direct and indirect costs of occupational accidents .(World Congress on Safety and Health at Work Place.2014)

Globally, an estimated 2.3 million workers die every year from occupational accidents and work related diseases. .(World Congress on Safety and Health at Work Place.2014)

In Malaysia for the year ending 2014, in the manufacturing sector alone, 45 accidents that resulted in death has taken place. (SOCSO Report 2015.)

SELF REFLECTION…

DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A SAFE PERSON ?

- we think we are because nothing have happen to me.- we think we are because it won’t happen to me.- we think we are because it will only happen to others.

INCREASE MORALE If workers are being injured they will not feel good about their job or the company that condones unsafe working conditions and unsafe work practices.

IMPROVE EFFICIENCY A safe, healthy and happy workforce produces good quality output

IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITYSafety, quality, and productivity go hand in hand

HOW CAN WE HELP EACH OTHER

Reasons for not helping How will my friend react….  No knowledge or skills in the relevant area...  Not my job so why worry……  Who is responsible for this area…..  Artificial borders at work……

ENGAGEMENT

COMMUNICATION

TRUST

People have to believe you truly care about their SAFETY.

BUILD THAT TRUST…..

HSE - S.Siva

Incidents are derived from a damaged relationship and not through broken parts (Dekker: 2011).

The human factor is one of the most important elements of any accident prevention program (Alston, 2003; Hollnagel, 2009; Fukui, 2001).

A look into the aspects of HUMAN ELEMENTS (HE ) is needed.

Accident is 88% caused by employees unsafe acts. (Heinrich,H.W.1931)

WHY HUMAN ELEMENT?

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY HE?

HOW TO TACKLE HE? HSE - S.Siva
