Systems of Safety

1. Proactive systems of safety are the key to preventing disasters and injuries.

2. Major systems of safety include:

  • maintenance and inspection
  • procedures and training
  • warning devices
  • design
  • mitigation equipment
  • human factors

    3. The design system provides the opportunity for primary prevention by eliminating the possibility of a serious accident occurring. The other systems of safety are aimed at secondary prevention by reducing the probability or severity of an accident.

    4. Your plant may have different structures and names for its systems of safety, but all of our plants have systems of safety.

    5. Active worker and union involvement in systems of safety is essential for these systems to be effective.
