Benefits Of Safety

  • Benefits of Safety


    Overview This talk will cover: how everyone benefits from working on a safe site and the costs of not doing so.

    Be safe, be sure

    1 For years the construction industry has had a poor safety record with far too many accidents and too much ill health.
    2 Too many accidents are cause by people who knowingly work or behave in an unsafe manner.
    3 With care, most accidents are totally and easily preventable.
    4 When working, be aware of the safety of others as well as yourself. You have a legal duty to do so.

    What you must do

    1 Comply with safety training and instruction and with site safety rules; site induction should inform you of the hazards.
    2 Avoid the temptation to cut corners to get the job done more quickly; there could be a high price to pay.
    3 Be aware of how the job you are dong could affect other people around you.
    4 Stay away from work if you know that you are not fit through illness, drink, drugs or for any other reason.
    5 Ask your supervisor if you have any doubts on safety issues.
    6 Report to your supervisor anyone who you see working or behaving in an unsafe manner, especially horseplay.


    The costs of accidents

    1 A poor safety record could result in your company being fined and suffering increased insurance premiums.
    2 Money lost in these ways cannot be used elsewhere; the company could be forced out of business.
    3 Employees and supervisors who demonstrate or tolerate poor safety practice may find themselves out of work.
    4 The personal cost of knowing that you have caused a serious accident, or worse, could last a lifetime.


    The benefits of safety

    1 Fewer accidents, resulting in less pain and suffering.
    2 Individuals have less time off, avoiding possible loss of income.
    3 Less disruption to the job as a whole with less inconvenience to individuals and their companies.
    4 Fewer accident investigations, fines and insurance premium increases: more money available for other things.
    5 Higher employee morale and a more contented workforce.
