What is the first step in accident prevention? All of you have heard and learned many accident prevention rules from the first day you started working in the plant such as principles of accident prevention, accident prevention by better planning etc.
In many dangerous areas, there are accident prevention tags may be
used instead of accident prevention signs reminding us not to smoke because of
Prevention of the fire accident. Other signs indicate the danger of high
voltage. Hanging on the walls we can see posters that remind us to wear
protective glasses when we need them.
We
regularly meet here for five minutes of daily toolbox talk to further reinforce
our positive attitude towards accident prevention, which is what we are going
to do today as well. And the result so far has been that we have gained some
Accident awareness of the need for us to work more carefully to prevent
accidents and injuries to ourselves and our co-workers.

Knowing
a job in detail naturally involves many things. First, there is the skill that
had to develop when beginning to start a job. Not everyone can operate a
machine correctly. You had to learn the correct way to use the equipment. That
was one of the first things that were required when started working.
You also had to learn what could not do with a machine or equipment. This is
as important as what we have mentioned before. It is important to know that a
crane cannot be loaded with more than a certain weight. It is a widely used
accident prevention technique that cannot be used, like a hammer, to
drive nails.
I
see that many of you get injured sometimes because you do not realize how
dangerous it is to use a tool that was not designed. Many are disabled because
they have never seen someone get injured using a tool incorrectly.
In
addition to knowing what you can and cannot do with the equipment and
materials you work with, as well as possessing the skills need to do your jobs, you need to be aware of all the potential hazards in the
operations you work on.
Accident prevention in the workplace
What is the first step in accident prevention?
If
you work with an emery stone, you need to be aware that there is a danger of
flying particles and therefore you should always keep the guard in place and
wear eye protection. The person who knows his job well knows the dangers to
which he is exposed and therefore takes great care to always use the necessary
protective equipment and never has an excuse not to use it.
You
can handle heavy materials without protective shoes, but if you know your job
and the possible dangers well, you will not do it, you will put on protective
shoes. There is always a chance that the heavy material will fall and crush
your foot.

I have told you MANY TIMES that personal injury
is one of the great evils of modern industry. That is why one of the main
objectives that we seek in these five-minute SAFETY TOOLBOX talks is to teach
you how to prevent accidents and what
is the first step in accident prevention?
If I gave you a piece
of paper and asked you to write who you think is the responsible person when
you are injured, many of you would surely write: the general manager …. Those
who wrote this would be right…..at least in part. To the general manager, to the
head of our department. To me, we all have an interest that you do not getting
injured.
We know that injury
accidents produce physical and moral pain. Do you think that I would like to
have to knock on the door of your house and let your wife and children know
that one of you has been seriously injured on the job and is in the hospital?
No one likes to communicate such sad news, and no manager or department head
wants or benefits when high rates of disabling injuries in their plant are
published.

Time and time again
we talk about the importance of personal protective equipment. For example, I know that sometimes it is a bit boring
to always have to repeat similar advice and warnings, but if we think about how
we can benefit from following those recommendations or advice, it is worth
paying a little attention and following them.
Have you ever talked to a co-worker who had a
severe accident? Think for a moment about a co-worker who, say, lost both of
his eyes. Do you think that if by a miracle he gets both eyes back, he wouldn't
go out of his way to protect his sight from now on? The greatest things in this
world, personal riches, such as sight, hearing, and the members of our body, we
do not appreciate them until we lose them. So, what
is the first step in accident prevention?
Who is responsible for an accident?
What is the first step in accident prevention?
And if any of you
ever lose or permanently disable any of these organs or limbs, it will be
useless for you to blame other people, to blame the loss or disability of those
organs or limbs on someone, like our general manager.
With this toolbox, I
would like to tell you that preventing workplace accidents is the
responsibility of all of us. If you expose yourself to unnecessary danger, no
matter how much I talk to you, no matter how much advice I give you, it will do
very little good.
I can tell you over
and over again about the importance of wearing a protective helmet, but if you
don't put it on when you need it, my words will have fallen on empty. I
couldn't stop you from breaking your heads, because you can't wear your
protective helmet.
