What Are Risks?
When we refer to “Risk” in relation to occupational safety and health the most commonly used definition is;
“the likelihood that a person may be harmed or suffers adverse health effects if exposed to a hazard”.
Ask Yourself...
• What are potential risks associated within my personal life?
• What are some risks associated with my professional life?
• What are some risks associated with my family member’s everyday lives?
Increased Risk Awareness = Greater Risk Reduction

How Can You Identify & Reduce Risks?
Case Studies
Please identify specific risk and the types of general behaviors related to each study below.
• Henry was breaking a jam on a conveyor belt which caused him to get onto the belt to
remove packages which were causing the jam. Another employee was unaware that
Henry was breaking a jam and activated the conveyor belt almost causing Henry to
slip and fall.
• Can you identify the risk associated with the case above?
• James, a p.m. truck driver for a shipping company also works as a school bus driver
during the day. James drives the school bus for 2-3 hours daily to earn extra money to
provide for his family. Neither company is aware of James' other jobs. By the end of
the week, James is having trouble concentrating due to feeling tired.
• Can you identify the risk associated with the case above?

Develop Your Critical Eye: Identify The Risks to Avoid The Consequences
Please identify specific risks and the consequences associated with the pictures below.

Three Levels of Risk Awareness
• Unconscious
• You are unaware of the risk and you
unintentionally perform a risky behavior and you
are unaware of the consequences.
• Complacent
• You do something frequently and don't give
much thought to the risk and consequence.
• Conscious
• You know you are taking a risk and are
deliberately doing it even though you know the
consequences.
• Almost all accidents involve:
• A failure to identify risk or
• A failure to address the risk or
• Underestimating the chance the risk could result
in an accident
• We are more likely to get hurt at home
Can you identify risks to ensure your safety at home and at
work?

Is Your Family Exposed to Risks at Home? Do You Have An Evacuation Plan?
Identify the risks associated with not having an evacuation plan.

 Practice solidifies everyone’s understanding of the plan
 A plan assists others in recognizing the person who may need assistance in an emergency, and brings to light any
weaknesses in the plan.
 When plans have been executed and practiced, panic is reduced in the event an evacuation is required.
 Evacuation meet points ensure everyone has exited safely.

C- COMMUNICATION
In order to communicate the goal and importance of risk
identification and reduction the message must be:
• Personal and Consistent

safety trends

16

ICARE
A- ACCOUNTABILITY
• Top/Mid-level managers: Safety and Health must stay at the forefront of discussions to ensure
other priorities and communication do not dominate. Irregular or infrequent discussion of safety
expectations reduces their impact. Measurement at this level includes personal behavior, safety
activities, and statistical results, such as following company safety and health rules, enforcing safety
and health rules, arranging safety and health training and related costs.
• Supervisors: Measurement should include personal safety behavior and safety activities which they
are able to control, such as making sure employees have safe materials and equipment, following
and enforcing safety rules, and conducting safety meetings to communicate and educate employees
on safe work methods and how to identify risks. Supervisors who set and hold high expectations for
safety create workers who mirror them. The key to expectations is to "expect" them. If supervisors
fail to expect regularly, they fail to set expectations.
17

ICARE
A- ACCOUNTABILITY
Employees: Measurement usually includes personal behavior, such as complying with safety and
health rules, looking out for the well being of his/her peers, sharing information regarding risks and
reporting injuries and hazards.
Accountability Tips:
• Personal Accountability
• Understand the Process
• Accountable for Each Other

ICARE
R- RELATIONSHIP
Keys to relationship building:
• Do What We Promise
• Treat Each Other with Dignity and
Respect
• People don’t care about what you have to
say until they know you care about them
• Trust others and they will trust you
Questions to consider to improve relationships:
• How well do you know your people?
• Is the focus sincere?
• Do you treat everyone with dignity and
respect?
• Do you give Positive reinforcement of
methods & behaviors with your
employees or peers?
Be consistent about what behaviors you
correct and an what behaviors you praise.
What gets recognized gets repeated!
Why is relationship building important when it

participations:
• Take pride in the work you do
• Promote the brand / the company
through your actions
• Lead by example
Make the pledge! Commit to the personal
and professional safety to yourself and

20

• Caring about each other- always
looking for ways to improve in our day
to day lives at home and work.
• Sharing with each other- Open
discussions regarding near misses or
incidents which will allow an
opportunity to educate others on
potential risks.
• Learning- being open to receive new
information is lived through the
sharing and caring process. By sharing
and caring openly with others, allows
the opportunity to create dialogue
that brings people together.
• Everyday in our normal scheduled life,
daily tasks or work can at times
reduce our alertness and replace the
attention. There are various tasks
which we perform, repeated with less
conscious thought. With passing of
days we may not always recognize the
importance of safety awareness or
may think it to be not that important
because we have been performing
these tasks for years. But the main
benefit of the creating safety
awareness and providing training is
the reminder that a danger can
happen anytime and none of us are
immune to accidents.

S-SHARING IS CARING A-AWARENESSSAFETY

• Your home, whether it's an apartment, or a house, should be a
comfortable and safe environment. While safety-proofing every
aspect of your home is impossible, you can make some simple
improvements that will make your home safer for everyone.
4 Home Safety Tips:
1. Test smoke alarms monthly. Create and practice an emergency fire
escape plan with your family. The majority of deaths from home
fires are from smoke inhalation, so early warning and evacuation
are critical.
2. Walk through your home and identify places where trips and falls
are likely—loose rugs and wires, poorly lit staircases, and clutter
on the floor are common risks for injuries. Remember that falls
are the leading cause of injuries at home; taking time to eliminate
hazards will go a long way to making your family safer.
3. Be honest about how safe your children are from poisoning. Are
all your medications out of reach, or in a locked cabinet? Are
household chemicals and cleaners inaccessible to children?
4. Evaluate your kitchen habits. Do you always stay in the room while
the stove is on? Do you keep hot beverages and dishes off
tablecloths, so that children can't pull them down and scald
themselves? Safe practices in the kitchen could go a long way to
preventing some of the quarter-million injuries from burns and
scalds each year.
• Health and safety programs are an important part of
preventing injury and illness in the workplace. Health
programs help employers and employees understand
the potential hazards they are exposed to on a daily
basis. Effective health and safety programs educate
workers on the benefits of practicing proper
workplace behaviors which can also be utilized within
their personal lives and families.
Types of Safety Education
• Pre-work Communication Meetings
• Demonstrations
• Computer based training
• Classroom safety training
• Safety dialogue with peers regarding actual
incidents and near misses.
• Presentations and movies
• Personal experience

F-FAMILY & HOME
E-EDUCATION
SAFETY

• When we work together in larger groups on
more complex jobs, we can overcome
problems by sharing ideas from each
individuals unique set of knowledge and
experiences. The more knowledge we share,
the more we gain.
• As we work together to take on greater
challenges; the more capable and productive
we become.
• Another positive benefit of teamwork is a
healthy sense of competition among
coworkers. This helps in several ways by
keeping everyone on their game, easing
tensions and creating a sense of community.
