🟥 Unsafe Acts, Unsafe Conditions & Near Misses – The Hidden Path to Accidents
Message:

Most serious accidents do not happen suddenly.
They are the final result of many unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, and ignored near misses.

🔹 Unsafe Act

An unsafe act is when a person behaves in a way that increases risk.

Examples:

Not wearing PPE

Taking shortcuts

Using tools incorrectly

Ignoring procedures

Working while tired or distracted

👉 Unsafe acts = Human behavior issues

🔹 Unsafe Condition

An unsafe condition is a hazardous situation in the workplace.

Examples:

Broken tools or guards

Wet or cluttered floors

Poor lighting

Exposed electrical wires

Unstable scaffolding

👉 Unsafe conditions = Environmental hazards

🔹 Near Miss

A near miss is an incident where no injury or damage occurred, but it could have.

Examples:

A falling object just misses a worker

A slip without a fall

A machine starts unexpectedly but is stopped

👉 Near misses are early warnings.

📊 How Many Near Misses Lead to an Accident?

According to the Safety Pyramid (Heinrich’s Triangle):

🔺 1 Serious Injury / Fatal Accident
⬆️ 29 Minor Injuries
⬆️ 300 Near Misses

👉 This means:
If near misses are ignored, serious accidents are only a matter of time.

🛑 Why Near Miss Reporting Is Critical

Near misses show hidden hazards

They help fix problems before someone gets hurt

Reporting near misses builds a strong safety culture

Every near miss is a free lesson

🟢 Key Safety Message

“Unsafe acts and unsafe conditions create near misses.
Unreported near misses create accidents.”

See it.
Report it.
Fix it.
Prevent it.

🟦 Day 3 of 30 🟦 Safety Basics – Understanding Incident Types in the Workplace
Why This Matters

Not every incident ends in injury — but every incident matters.
Understanding different types of incidents helps us report correctly, investigate properly, and prevent serious accidents in the future.

🔹 1. Near Miss

An event where no injury or damage occurred, but it could have.

Examples:

A falling object misses a worker

A slip without a fall

A machine starts unexpectedly but is stopped in time

👉 Most valuable learning opportunity – no cost, big lesson.

🔹 2. First Aid Case (FAC)

A minor injury that requires basic first aid only.

Examples:

Small cuts or scratches

Minor burns

Bruises treated on site

👉 No lost work time.

🔹 3. Medical Treatment Case (MTC)

An injury requiring medical treatment beyond first aid, but no lost workdays.

Examples:

Stitches

Prescription medication

X-ray or specialist treatment

👉 Worker returns to normal duty.

🔹 4. Lost Workday Case (LWC)

An injury serious enough that the worker cannot return to work the next scheduled shift.

Examples:

Fractures

Severe sprains

Back injuries

👉 Affects productivity and worker wellbeing.

🔹 5. Restricted Work Case (RWC)

The worker returns to work, but cannot perform normal duties.

Examples:

Light duty due to injury

Temporary role change

👉 Shows injury impact even without absence.

🔹 6. Property Damage Incident

Damage to equipment, tools, or infrastructure without injury.

Examples:

Forklift hitting a rack

Vehicle damage on site

👉 Often a warning sign of bigger risk.

🔹 7. Environmental Incident

An incident that harms the environment.

Examples:

Chemical spills

Oil leaks

Improper waste disposal

👉 Environmental safety = workplace safety.

🔹 8. Fatality

An incident resulting in loss of life.

👉 Every fatality starts with unreported near misses.

🟩 Key Safety Message

“Every serious accident begins as a small incident.”
Report near misses. Investigate incidents. Learn early. Prevent loss.

🟦 Day 2 of 30 – Unsafe Acts, Unsafe Conditions & Near Misses
🔹 Unsafe Act

An unsafe act is when a person does something wrong or risky that could cause an accident.
Examples:

Running on a slippery floor

Ignoring PPE (helmet, gloves, boots)

Using machines without proper training

Overloading ladders or scaffolds

👉 Unsafe acts = human mistakes that increase risk

🔹 Unsafe Condition

An unsafe condition is when something in the workplace is dangerous or faulty, creating risk.
Examples:

Poorly maintained tools or equipment

Broken guardrails or ladders

Wet, oily, or cluttered floors

Exposed electrical wires

👉 Unsafe conditions = hazardous environment elements

🔹 Near Miss

A near miss is an event where no one gets hurt, but it could have caused injury or damage.
Examples:

A tool falls but misses someone

A worker slips but regains balance

A chemical spill occurs but no one touches it

Why Near Misses Matter:

They are early warnings of hazards.

Reporting near misses helps prevent future accidents.

Learning from near misses saves lives.

🟩 Key Message for Today

“Unsafe acts + unsafe conditions = near misses. Near misses = lessons for safer work tomorrow.”
Observe, report, and act — prevent accidents before they happen.

🟦 Day 1 of 30 – Understanding Hazards and Risks

🔹 What Is a Hazard?

A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm.
It can injure people, damage property, or affect health.

Examples:

A slippery floor

Exposed electrical wire

Working at height

Chemicals

Moving machinery

👉 Hazard = The source of danger

🔹 What Is a Risk?

A risk is the chance or probability that someone will be harmed because of the hazard.
It tells us how likely an accident is + how severe the outcome might be.

Examples:

Slippery floor → Risk of slipping and falling

Exposed wire → Risk of electric shock

Working at height → Risk of falling

Chemical storage → Risk of burns or poisoning

👉 Risk = How likely harm will occur

🟩 Simple Formula to Remember

Hazard = The danger
Risk = The chance of the danger hurting you

🛑 Why This Matters

Understanding hazards and risks is the foundation of safety.
If workers can identify hazards early, they can prevent accidents before they happen.

🟦 Key Message for Today

“Hazards are always present. Risks only increase when we ignore them.”
Stay aware. Identify hazards. Control risks.

Hello all , Soon we are going to again learn daily by safety videos , , due to some hectic schedule at work havn't shared post in last few days
🔹 Understanding Control Measures in Safety 🔹

Safety at the workplace isn’t just about wearing PPE — it’s about choosing the right level of control to protect people from hazards. The Hierarchy of Controls guides us from most effective to least effective measures:

1️⃣ Elimination – Completely remove the hazard.
2️⃣ Substitution – Replace hazardous materials or processes with safer ones.
3️⃣ Engineering Controls – Use physical barriers, ventilation, or machine guards.
4️⃣ Administrative Controls – Change how people work: training, procedures, shift rotations.
5️⃣ PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) – Last line of defense: helmets, gloves, goggles, and more.

✅ Key Takeaway: Always aim for the highest level of control possible. PPE alone isn’t enough — safety starts with elimination and engineering measures.

💡 Let’s make workplaces safer, smarter, and healthier for everyone!

The Silent Killer in Workplaces: COMPLACENCY

Message:
Accidents don’t always happen because people don’t know safety rules…
They often happen because people stop following them.
That mindset is called COMPLACENCY, and it’s one of the biggest hidden dangers at any worksite.

⚠️ What is Complacency?

It’s when workers become too comfortable, too familiar, or too confident, and start believing:

“I’ve done this 1000 times, nothing will happen.”

“I don’t need PPE for this small task.”

“I’ll just do this quickly.”

“I know the shortcut.”

This thinking slowly removes caution — and brings accidents closer.

🧨 Why Complacency is Dangerous

Complacency leads to:
🔸 Skipping safety steps
🔸 Not double-checking equipment
🔸 Ignoring near-misses
🔸 Reduced situational awareness
🔸 Overconfidence in high-risk tasks
🔸 Taking shortcuts to save time

One small moment of relaxed attention → major injury.

🛑 Signs of Complacency in Workers

Not wearing PPE consistently

Doing tasks “from memory” without checking

Rushing

Talking while working at height or with machines

Ignoring warning alarms

Saying things like “It won’t happen to me”

🟢 How to Fight Complacency

1️⃣ Pause before the task (Take 2 minutes)
Ask: “What can go wrong here?”

2️⃣ Follow procedures every time
No exceptions — even for experienced workers.

3️⃣ Keep workplaces tidy
Clutter increases careless behavior.

4️⃣ Encourage near-miss reporting
Near misses are early warnings.

5️⃣ Toolbox Talks
Frequent short sessions refresh awareness.

6️⃣ Lead by example
Supervisors must show visible safety actions.

🔒 Key Message:

Complacency grows slowly, but strikes suddenly.
Stay alert. Stay aware.
Your safety depends on your attention — not your experience.

02/11/2025

Message:
Every accident starts with a hazard, but it can be stopped with the right control measures.
Safety control measures are the steps we take to eliminate or minimize risks — they’re the barrier between a hazard and an injury.

📊 Key Concept: The Hierarchy of Controls
Safety professionals use this hierarchy (from most effective to least) to control hazards:

1️⃣ Elimination – Remove the hazard completely.
Example: Use pre-fabricated parts to avoid on-site cutting.

2️⃣ Substitution – Replace the hazard with something safer.
Example: Use water-based paints instead of solvent-based ones.

3️⃣ Engineering Controls – Isolate people from hazards.
Example: Install guards, barriers, or ventilation systems.

4️⃣ Administrative Controls – Change the way people work.
Example: Training, job rotation, warning signs, and supervision.

5️⃣ Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – The last line of defense.
Example: Helmets, gloves, ear protection, goggles, boots.

✅ Safety Tip:
Always start at the top of the hierarchy — never rely on PPE alone when hazards can be eliminated or engineered out.

⚠️ Unsafe Mindset:
❌ “We’ve always done it this way.”
❌ “Just use PPE and carry on.”

💡 Remember:
“Control the hazard before it controls you.”
Safety isn’t about luck — it’s about layers of protection. 🧡

Message:
Water blasters (or high-pressure cleaners) are powerful tools used for cleaning equipment, vehicles, and surfaces — but with pressures reaching up to 40,000 psi, even a small mistake can cause serious injury.
Treat every water blaster as a hazardous energy source — respect its power, and use it safely.

📊 Key Facts:

High-pressure water jets can cut through skin, gloves, or boots in milliseconds.

Over 60% of reported injuries involve improper hose handling or lack of PPE.

Common injuries: injection wounds, eye injuries, and slips/falls due to wet surfaces.

✅ Water Blasting Safety Tips:
🔹 Inspect before use – check hoses, trigger guns, and connections for leaks or damage.
🔹 Wear full PPE – waterproof gloves, safety boots, face shield, goggles, and hearing protection.
🔹 Never point the lance at anyone – even if it’s switched off.
🔹 Use proper stance and two-hand control to avoid kickback.
🔹 Keep area clear of bystanders and mark it with warning signs.
🔹 Avoid electrical hazards – never operate near exposed wiring or outlets.
🔹 Relieve system pressure before disconnecting hoses or nozzles.
🔹 Clean up standing water to prevent slips and falls.

⚠️ Unsafe Acts / Conditions:
❌ Using damaged hoses or fittings.
❌ Not wearing face and hand protection.
❌ Pointing the nozzle toward yourself or others.
❌ Operating in confined or unstable areas.

💡 Remember:
“Water can clean — or it can cut. Respect the pressure, protect yourself.” 💪
