3. What is Safety Management
Safety Management:
Industrial safety refers to the management of all
operations within an industry in order to protect its employees
and minimize hazards, risks, accidents.
Importance of Industrial Safety:
In 1972 in USA, fifteen thousand workers were killed in
industrial accidents and about 10 lakhs were injured.

4. Need Of Safety
1. To provide healthy working conditions.
2. To minimize accident rates.
3. To increase the rate of production.
4. Reducing machine damage.
5. Preventing death of talented workers.

5. Safety Committee
1. Administrative, executive and floor shop workers.
2. Aid in developing safety consciousness.
3. Planning safety rules.
4. Ask and watch about safety.
5. Report periodically.

13. Causes Of Accident
An accident is an unplanned event or incident and for each
such incident there is usually a specific cause or causes if
one could but discover them.
Occupational safety experts have put different causes of
accidents under three broad categories. There are:
1. Human causes or Unsafe Act
2. Technical causes or Unsafe Condition
3. Natural and Other Reasons

14. Fig: Types Causes of
Accident

15. 1. Human causes or
Unsafe Act
Human causes or unsafe acts by the person
concerned are due to his ignorance or forgetfulness,
carelessness, day-dreaming, etc. This type of behaviour is
usually contrary to the company’s rules and regulation and
acceptable standard safety practice.
Examples of Unsafe Act
oUnauthorized operation or use of equipment.
oUse of defective tools and equipment.
Reasons for such type of accident are as follows:
oPoor knowledge of work
oOverconfident behaviour of worker at the work place.

16. 2. Technical Causes Or
Unsafe Condition
Technical causes or unsafe conditions reflect
deficiencies in plant, equipment, tools, materials handling system,
general work environment, etc. Also, it is an unsatisfactory physical
condition existing in the workplace.
Examples of Unsafe Condition
oLack of warning system
Reasons for such type of accident are as follows:
oPoor workplace layout
oChemical leakages

17. 3.Natural And Other
Reasons
Accidents and disasters can also happen due to
natural means and climatic conditions. A few of them are
excessive noise and lighting, very high temperature,
unhealthy conditions, excessive dust and fumes and arrogant
and uncivilized nature of the immediate seniors.
• Natural causes of accidents:
o Floods
o Land slide collapse

18. Fire Hazards
Threats to fire safety are commonly referred to as fire hazards. A
fire hazard is a potential fire accident or the risk of an
uncontrolled fire that can happen at an industrial workplace.
A fire hazard has a higher possibility of occurring in the oil and
gas industry, mainly due to the fact that workers are surrounded
by flammable liquids and gases that can explode.

Hazards

19. Types/Classes Of Fire
1. Class A: This type of fires involve solid materials of an
organic nature such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, and
plastics that do not melt.
2. Class B: This type of fires involve liquids. They include
petrol, diesel, thinners, oils, paints, wax, cooking fat and
plastic that melt.
3. Class C: This type of fires involve electricity; energized
equipment, as long as it is plugged in it is considered a class
C fire.
4. Class D: This types of fires involve flammable metals such as
magnesium, aluminium, titanium, sodium and potassium.

20. Fire Drill
Fire drills and other emergency evacuation drills should be
conducted to ensure all employees know how to quickly and
safely leave the building.
As a part of all emergency drills, the employees need to know
whether to shut down their machinery or to leave it running when
they evacuate the building.

21. Safety Procedures
Safe work practices are mostly written methods that define how
responsibilities are performed while minimizing risks to people,
materials, equipment, environment and processes.
Safe Work Procedures are documented procedures for performing
tasks.

22. Work Permit In Safety
A safe work permit also known as a “permit to work” is a
document that includes a description of the work to be performed,
the hazards involved, the precautions to take, the required
authorizations, and other elements.
It is written record authorizing a specific work at a specific
location, and for a specific time. A safe work permit is an
effective vehicle for communicating critical safety information.
