SAFETY MANAGEMENT
Available in English & in Arabic
There are 4 critical success factors that can help organizations and their people maintain their success. They are as follows:
1. A healthy, safe and secure place to work
2. Preferred supplier
3. Preferred investment
4.
A work environment that helps employees attain their ultimate potential and empowers them for maximum contribution.
It is quite true that “SAFETY” is No. 1 priority and it is always first. Without safety, productivity
can easily be compromised and hence will definitely harm all critical success factors. This can cause a process of “DISORDER” which is contrary to efficiency and effectiveness.
Efficiency & Effectiveness:
Proper utilization of resources through a very well structured system to produce a desired result and to avoid loss or waste of energy. This will give effective power appropriate for producing the desired Output (fulfillment of a goal
after the event). Therefore people must learn and understand Safety Management, so they make sure that they themselves and the companies they work for are committed to safety; this of course will help them not to waste their resources
(human/ materials), especially in the 21st century where producing the best quality product/ services with the least cost is considered to be a standard and an expectation in this competitive global world.
I am quite astonished
with the number of incidents and accidents (Kingdom wide) on a daily basis that continues to climb. These incidents and accidents affect all of us and they are all caused by people and only people can prevent their occurrence in the
future. An incident is defined as An unintended or unplanned occurrence which results in:
- Injury or illness to personnel
- Damage to property or equipment
- Interruption or interference with the orderly progress of work
- or a combination of the above
It really hurts me a lot when people continue to ignore the fact that incidents and accidents are preventable. Ignorance and negligence continue to prevail and the only way to deal with this situation is by implementing what is called:
“INSTIGATED CHANGE”; a change that was deliberately brought about by the desire, need or plan to achieve a specific result.
“SAFETY MANAGEMENT” awareness training will
provide and promote a safe and healthful work environment and will foster a positive safety and health attitude in all our employees. It is our mission to provide a safe and healthy work environment for all our employees. The training
will emphasize strategies that preclude any occurrence that would have an adverse effect on our employees and organizations as well. We aim from this training to prevent injuries, illnesses, and death from work related causes and to
minimize losses of material resources and interruptions from accidental occurrences. In other words, it is directed toward the control of all types of hazards possibly. We all share in the responsibility for the health and safety
of our employees and thus:
- Every employee, from CEO to forklift driver, is now seen as responsible for safety
- Safety and health training awareness contribute to the health of the company
- Safety is every ones’ job and product
- The people most likely to spot problems on the job are those who are performing
- Teamwork is a must for the creation of a safe, secure, and healthy type of work environment
- In successful teams, each member buys into the team’s and the company’s goals, safety constitutes a solid one
In conclusion, it is not enough to only provide a secure and healthful place to our employees, but we shall also provide them with the needed actual training, so they can be self aware and responsible for their actions and therefore their
produced products/ services are very well integrated with safety. We all agree that hazards shall be eliminated or at least controlled as quickly as possible and our objective is doing what we are saying, so safety becomes our solid
skill.
