BACKGROUND STORY ON
SAFETY
A twentieth-century movement to reduce workplace hazards. Severe
accidents were common—and much higher than in Europe—in the large
industries of the nineteenth century. In 1877, Massachusetts pioneered in
the establishment of factory safeguards and, in 1886, in the reporting of
accidents. By the 1920s, nearly all states had workmen’s compensation
laws. In response, a number of large corporations launched safety
programs, redesigned their equipment and workplace, sought to change
workers’ attitudes, and beefed up regulations for foremen and employees.
Some, for instance the steel industry, made huge strides; after a
stunningly high rate of industrial injury during 1907–1908, the industry cut
accident rates to one-sixth within a decade or so. ( According to
encyclopedia.com)
SAFETY
Safety can be defined as the state or condition of being secure from harm,
danger, or injury. It involves taking precautions and implementing
measures to minimize risks and protect oneself and others from potential
hazards or threats. Safety can encompass various aspects such as physical
safety, emotional safety, cybersecurity, and workplace safety, among
others. It’s about creating an environment where individuals feel
protected and free from harm.
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
Industrial Safety is a multi-disciplinary approach to developing and

ensuring compliance with regulatory agencies, safe working practices, and
maintaining the health and well-being of those employed in a particular
occupation or workplace. Strategies to accomplish these goals maintain a
strong focus on injury prevention through hazard identification,
prevention and controls; education and training; audits and inspections;
engineering modifications, (according to UNCBS)
SAFETY TECHNIQUE
Safety techniques are practices and strategies that help ensure the
well-being and protection of individuals in various situations. Some
common safety techniques include:
1. Risk Assessment: Identifying potential hazards and evaluating the

level of risk associated with them.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using appropriate gear,
such as helmets, gloves, goggles, or masks, to protect oneself from
potential hazards.
3. Safe Handling and Use of Tools: Following proper procedures and
guidelines when using tools and equipment to minimize the risk of
accidents or injuries.
4. Fire Safety: Knowing the location of fire exits, fire extinguishers,
and practicing fire drills regularly.
5. First Aid: Having basic knowledge of first aid techniques and
keeping a first aid kit handy in case of emergencies.
6. Emergency Preparedness: Being aware of emergency procedures
and having a plan in place for different scenarios.
7. Good Housekeeping: Keeping the workspace clean and organized
to prevent slips, trips, and falls.
8. Safe Lifting and Carrying: Using proper techniques when lifting
heavy objects to avoid strains or injuries.
9. Electrical Safety: Understanding electrical hazards and following
safety precautions when working with electricity.
10. Reporting and Communication: Reporting any safety concerns
or incidents to the appropriate authorities and maintaining open
communication about safety in the workplace.
APPLICATION OF SAFETY TO
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
In project management, safety plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-

being of the project team and stakeholders. Here are some ways safety is
applied in project management:
1. Risk Management: Identifying potential safety risks and developing

strategies to mitigate or eliminate them.
2. Safety Planning: Incorporating safety considerations into the project
plan, including safety protocols, training, and safety equipment
requirements.
3. Safety Training: Providing project team members with the necessary
safety training and ensuring they have the knowledge and skills to work
safely.
4. Safety Communication: Establishing clear channels of communication
for reporting safety concerns and incidents, and ensuring that safety
information is effectively communicated to all project stakeholders.
5. Safety Documentation: Maintaining proper documentation of safety
procedures, incident reports, and safety-related communication to ensure
accountability and compliance.
6. Safety Inspections: Conducting regular inspections to identify and
address any safety hazards or non-compliance issues.
7. Contractor Safety Management: Ensuring that contractors working on
the project adhere to safety standards and guidelines.
8. Continuous Improvement: Regularly reviewing and updating safety
practices based on lessons learned and industry best practices.
By integrating safety into project management practices, projects can be

executed more effectively and with a focus on the well-being of all
involved.
BEHAVIOURAL ANALYSIS AND

SAFETY CONSCIOUSNESS
Behavioral analysis is all about understanding why people do the things they
do. It involves studying the triggers or stimuli that lead to certain behaviors,
the behaviors themselves, and the consequences that follow. By analyzing
these factors, we can identify patterns and figure out what influences people’s
actions, especially when it comes to safety.
On the other hand, safety consciousness refers to being aware of safety and
making it a top priority. It means being mindful of potential dangers and taking
proactive steps to prevent accidents or injuries. This can include following
safety protocols, using personal protective equipment, and promoting a safety-
oriented culture.
behavioural analysis helps us understand the reasons behind people’s actions,

while safety consciousness involves being aware of safety and taking necessary
precautions.
ACCIDENT
Workshop accidents can happen, but it’s important to prioritize safety to
prevent them. There are a few common types of accidents that can occur in
workshop practices:
1. Falls and trips: These can happen if the workshop is cluttered or if there
are uneven surfaces. It’s important to keep the workspace clean and
organized, and to ensure that floors are clear of any hazards.
2. Cuts and lacerations: Working with sharp tools and machinery can pose
a risk of cuts and lacerations. Always use appropriate safety equipment,
such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and make sure you are
properly trained in using the tools.
3. Burns: Accidental contact with hot surfaces or materials can lead to

burns. Be cautious when working with heat sources or flammable
materials, and use protective gear like heat-resistant gloves.
4. Chemical exposures: Some workshop practices involve working with

chemicals that can be harmful if not handled properly. Always follow
safety guidelines, use protective equipment, and work in well-ventilated
areas.
To prevent accidents, it’s crucial to have proper training, follow safety

protocols, and use the right protective equipment. Additionally, maintaining a
clean and organized workspace can help minimize risks. If you’ve experienced
an accident, it’s important to seek medical attention if needed and report the
incident to your supervisor or instructor.
SOURCE OF ACCIDENT
1.Lack of training: Insufficient knowledge or improper training on how to use
tools and equipment can lead to accidents. It’s important to receive proper
training and guidance before working in a workshop.
2. safety measures: Not following safety protocols, such as wearing protective

gear or not properly securing materials, can increase the risk of accidents.
3.Poor housekeeping: A cluttered or disorganized workspace can create

hazards, leading to slips, trips, and falls. Keeping the workshop clean and
organized is essential for safety.
4.Equipment malfunction: Faulty machinery or tools can pose a significant

risk. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify and address any
potential issues.
5.Lack of communication: Failing to communicate effectively with others
in the workshop can lead to misunderstandings or coordination issues,
increasing the likelihood of accidents.
PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF ACCIDENT

To prevent and control accidents in workshop practices, it’s important to
follow these guidelines:
1. Training and education: Ensure that all individuals working in the

workshop receive proper training on the safe use of tools and
equipment. This includes understanding safety procedures, recognizing
potential hazards, and knowing how to respond in emergency situations.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear the appropriate PPE

for the task at hand. This may include safety goggles, gloves, helmets,
ear protection, and protective clothing. PPE helps minimize the risk of
injuries from flying debris, chemicals, loud noises, and other potential
hazards.
3. Safety protocols: Establish and enforce safety protocols within the

workshop. This includes guidelines for using machinery, handling
materials, and maintaining a clean and organized workspace. Regularly
inspect equipment and tools to ensure they are in good working
condition.
4. Housekeeping: Keep the workshop clean and organized. Clear any

clutter, debris, or spills that could cause slips, trips, or falls. Properly
store tools and materials to prevent accidents.
5. Communication and teamwork: Encourage effective communication
among workshop members. Clear communication helps prevent
misunderstandings and coordination issues that can lead to accidents.
Everyone should be aware of their surroundings and communicate any
potential hazards or concerns.
6. Regular maintenance: Perform regular maintenance and inspections on

machinery and equipment to identify and address any potential issues
before they become safety hazards.
SUMMARY
In a workshop, safety is super important. Industrial safety focuses on
keeping workers and equipment safe. To do this, we use safety
techniques like risk assessments, hazard identification, and safety
training. It’s also crucial to analyze behavior and promote a safety-
conscious culture in project management. Accidents can happen if we’re
not careful, so we need to know their sources, like lack of training or
equipment malfunctions. But we can prevent and control accidents by
prioritizing safety, providing training, using protective equipment, and
maintaining good communication and housekeeping.
