TYPES OF SAFETY
Normative Safety
Normative safety is term used to describe products or
designs that meet applicable designs, standards and protection.
Example: Chairs are designed to support the back of
worker sitting on it.
Substantive Safety
Substantive or objective safety means that the
real-world safety history is favorable, whether or not standards are met.
Example: If a worker is standing in the middle of
a roof which has no grill, according to the standards there is a fall hazard
but as he is standing in the middle, he is safe.
Perceived Safety
Perceived or subjective safety refers to the level of
comfort of users.
Example: If a person is claustrophobic, he will not feel
safe in a closed space even when there is no hazard present.
Hazard: A hazard is anything that has potential to cause harm or injuries to a person or persons and property damage.
Risk: It is the likelihood that
a person may be harmed or injured if exposed to a hazard combined with the
severity of consequences.
Example: Electricity is a hazard and electric shock is the harm or an injury the worker may be exposed to it is risk. Risk will be high if the electrical equipment being used is substandard, wiring is poor, and the insulation on the wires is poor or if there is water on the ground.
Controls: These are the
measures taken to control the risk or eliminate the hazards altogether.
Example: if there is a
spill of water in a room, it presents a slipping hazard for person working in
that room. If access to that room is prevented by a physical barrier, though
the hazard would remain but the risk of slips/trip would be minimized.
