Respecting Safety Professionals is akin to respecting farmers and warriors! Being an agricultural nation, India respects farmers since, without their labour and commitment, food cannot be produced. In a similar vein, soldiers have stood on a country's boundaries to save the people's lives. Safety workers put forth a lot of effort to save lives and protect clients from injury, illness, etc., much like farmers and soldiers do.
Do you know? In 2020, there were
4,764 workplace fatalities. Workers in the transportation and material moving,
construction, and extraction industries accounted for nearly half of all fatal
occupational injuries. Safety specialists are required because they carry out a
variety of duties, such as risk assessment, incident investigation, audits, PPE
checks, tool and equipment inspections, etc., all of which are undertaken to
protect the lives of the employees. You could never judge how powerful they are
because they go to extremes to safeguard our lives and create a better
workplace.
A safety professional's roles
and responsibilities are as follows:
A safety officer handles an
organization's internal well-being, including that of its employees, employers,
and associates in terms of safety and health. A factory, warehouse,
manufacturing facility, or organization's safety and health are the
responsibility of a safety officer, who is, to put it simply, in charge of
those areas of an organisation. They also facilitate communication between the
organization and its employees.
Have you ever wondered why safety professionals choose to work in such a difficult and dangerous environment? They
put a lot of effort into identifying risks, hazards, hazard likelihood, near
misses, and loopholes in safety policies and procedures, filling in the
knowledge gaps between employees and how to safely work with hazardous
materials or devices; enforcing rules and providing procedures, controls, and
processes to help the company reduce or eliminate risks; communicating updated
policies and procedures to the employees; and conducting routine follow-ups.
Why do Safety professionals
carry out such duties? Do
you think they do it because it's part of their job or just because they want
to? Do you believe they chose this line of work because they have an
adventurous spirit, are passionate about finding solutions, enjoy
problem-solving, value safety, etc.? The response is, in part, accurate. The
precise response, however, would be that they wished to preserve lives!
Respect these Safety experts for the
heroic effort they have made in saving our lives!
