“Safety” is our goal. Safety comes in different course of actions. Safety is YOU. It shows your strength and power. It identifies your role and responsibilities. It equips, educates, and empowers. Ultimately, it explains the philosophy towards providing a safe and secure work space. These and many more are the reasons why “Safety” is our goal.
Goal setting is primarily aimed at task performance in the workplace, and is based on the central idea that goals are the immediate cause of human action. By their very nature, goals motivate people to focus their attention and action, to try harder and to persist until a desired future state has been reached.
The number one priority of safety is inevitably YOU that you should be prepared for the job and look out for yourself first. How can you possibly look out for others sake if you can’t look out for yourself? Foremost, we need to consider that any job, no matter where it is or what it is, has an element of risk. You are at risk of getting injured.Workplace accidents are real and the consequences can be staggering.But that’s beside the point.Being ever ready and energetic as a worker, you must always think on how you can be safe.
Safety displays your strength and power to: prevent workplace accidents; protect yourself and others; be alert and identify the hazards; ask questions; control your own safety; influence others; and report all injuries.At the same time you have the responsibility to: follow the safety rules and regulations; if necessary ask for any training regarding safety; the need to report all injuries and unsafe working conditions; wear the proper protective equipment; and do all the job in a safe manner for safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Safety equips, educates, and empowers. To equip is to provide tools that will keep people safe. Equipping people with practical tools encourages a positive attitude and stresses the necessary and importance of safety. To educate is to transfer knowledge and skills that will develop abilities and attitudes that result in positive and proactive behavior. A well-rounded education about hazards, procedures, and practices for safe work, through a variety of tools, resources and processes, ensures appropriate behavior and effective implementation. To empower is to convey commitment, share leadership and show confidence and trust.People empowered are well equipped to communicate the importance of safety to others and are respected as leaders in the workplace and community at large.
