What is Safety?

Our natural instincts drive us to keep ourselves safe in order to stay healthy and well.  However, safety doesn’t always occur naturally.  In order to keep ourselves safe, we must plan safety into each task we want to accomplish.

What is safety?  It is freedom from danger.  It involves putting thought into action, creating orderliness, using knowledge, and exercising caution.  It is a personal commitment to looking out for your health and well-being as well as that of those around you.  Accidents don’t just happen; they are caused.  If we work on eliminating the causes, we can eliminate the accidents.
