SAFETY

3. A value is a statement or set of rules that prescribe the form
of personal interactions preferred by a culture (such as the set of
behaviors called “good manners”)
How we value safety?
Everyone must know how to value it.
We will bring it home to our family and we
can establish this value into our loved ones
“if safety is considered value it will always
be present”

4. In safety we also make decisions or a choice in any type of event in
making a rules, regulations standards and manual set of
instructions, etc. every decision making process produces a final
choice. A choice is an act or instance of choosing
Four Types of Decision
1. Command Decision - which can only be made by you, as the
“commander-in-chief”
2. Delegated Decisions - which may be made by anyone
3. Avoided Decisions - where the outcome could be so severe that the
choice should not be made. As the consequences cannot be recovered
from it if the wrong choice is made.
4. “No-Brainer” Decisions - where the choice is so obvious that only
one choice can reasonably be made.

5. A few examples of Safety Choice are:
 When you choose a helmet when you are riding a
motorcycle
 When you are passing by a construction site
 When you make sure that all the electricity in your
house is turned off as much as possible
 When you choose the food you eat, and a lot more.
 When you choose to volunteer yourself in any
dangerous situation like rescue operations etc.

6. Compliance is a conformity or accordance, either a state of being in
accordance with established guidelines, specifications or legislation or the
process of becoming so. If we follow the rules and instructions, we can
avoid the hazards, accident and everything that will set us from dangerous
places
Traditional Safety programs
Most companies have embraced the following programs and initiatives to
improve compliance with safety procedures:
1. Informal feedback on complying with safety procedures
2. Safety meetings and training
3. Safety awards
4. Safety audits
5. Written procedures
6. Special initiatives (posters, newsletters, off-the job safety programs etc)

7. After conducting periodic audits, managers and supervisors
complete STOP (Safety Training Observation Program) cards to
document any unsafe acts they have observed though not
documenting the names of the observed employees.
However as soon as convenient, they approach an employee who
performed an unsafe act and ask the following questions:
1. “What could happen”- question that prompts the
employee to identify which of the observed actions
created the risk of an accident.
2. “How could the employee do the job safely?”-
question that prompts the employee to identify how
to do just that.

8. Value-Based Behavioral Safety Process
Agencies responsible for safety as related to health
1. FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
2. DOH (Department of Health)
3. BFAD (Bureau of Food and Drugs)

9. • HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) –is a
management system in which food safety is addressed
through the analysis and control of biological, chemical and
physical hazards from raw materials production,
procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution
and consumption of the finished product.
• GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) –is a production and
testing practice that helps to ensure a quality product. Many
countries have legislated that pharmaceutical and medical
device companies must follow GMP procedures, and have
created their own GMP guidelines that correspond with their
legislation.
• CCP (critical control points) –a point, step or procedure at
which controls can be applied and food safety hazard can be
prevented, eliminated or reduced to acceptable critical levels.
