Safety: The absence of risk of serious personal injury
· OSHAS 18001: 1999: freedom from unacceptable risk of harm.
· “Absence of risk of serious personal injury or danger of physical harm to persons extending in the workplace to things such as equipment, materials and structures”.
· For example, walking under a load suspended from a crane during a lifting operation is not safe because if the load falls, serious personal injury, or death could result. Staying out of the danger area results in safety.
Welfare
· The general well-being of employees at the workplace and the promotion of conditions which help to provide for their needs in respect of health, comfort, social and personal well-being.
· It “Relates to the provision of workplace facilities that maintain the basic wellbeing and comfort of the workers
Access to basic facilities such as toilet facilities, hand-wash stations, changing rooms, rest rooms, places where food can be prepared and eaten in relatively hygienic conditions, drinking water and basic first-aid provision.

What is Safety
Introduction to
Key Terms:
Health: ILO OSH
Convention – C155:
The term health
in relation to work, indicates not merely the absence of disease or infirmity,
it also includes the physical and mental elements affecting health which are
directly related to safety and hygiene at work.
“A state of
wellbeing in both a physiological and psychological sense.
“Absence of
disease or ill health, physical ill-health as well as psychological ill-health
(condition of both body and mind), of all people at the workplace (employees,
contractors and visitors) and their protection from harm in the form of injury
or disease”.
WHO – 1946: A
state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the
absence of diseases and infirmity.
For example,
asbestos creates a health risk because if you inhale asbestos dust you may
contract lung cancer at some stage later in life (perhaps 20 or 30 years after
you inhaled the dust). Health relates not only to physical ill-health but also
to psychological ill-health (e.g. exposure to extreme stress can lead to acute
mental collapse or a ‘nervous breakdown’).
