ent of International Health and Safety)

ANSWER
a) Moral
-Injury accidents result in a great deal of pain and suffering for those affected. A worker should not have to
at risk, nor should others be adversely affected by the worker’s undertaking
b) Social
- In many countries it is a specific legal requirement to safeguard the health and safety of workers and othe
operations
c) Economic
- Accident at work cost a great deal of money. Especially when we add in damage accidents. Employers also
work

The definition of Risk is as below


- Combination of the likelihood and consequences of a specified hazardous event occurring
For example, If knife are used by doctor, risk will be low. However if same situation handled by children, risk
consequence and likelihood are so high.

The integration of people, equipment and materials in the correct environment to produce the safest possib
means that all work must be conducted in safe way, but does not require that all work has to be prescribed
