FUNDAMENTALS OF SAFETY MANAGEMENT EROS G. ZUÑIGA
Fundamental Concept of Safety Management (1) Safety shall be built in the production activity Production Activity
Safety and Health Shall be built in a production activity Consistently and harmoniously from its Planning to completion Production with Safety Production and Safety
Relationship between production, quality and Safety Production
Quality
Safety
They don’t restrain each other, They cooperate with each other “Accident and inefficiency grow up in the same nursery”
unsafe conditions (Objects) Standard situation (state or action to be)
Unsafe acts (Persons)
Accident potentials = Unsafe condition + Unsafe acts
Future Level (Target) Matters to be improved (obstructing elements) Matters to be eliminated (Detected Problem)
Leveling the Safety and Health Management
How to restrain the accident potential For the object: To install the machines etc. in compliance with the construction code, standards etc. To implement the inspection activity
For the person:
To set up the standard operation procedures, safety rules etc. for various kinds of operations. To make the worker observe these procedure, rules etc. through education and guidance

Analysis Of causes
Improvement Of safety management
(a) “Running after accident” type
Non accident
Elimination Of accident potential
Fullness of safety management
(b) “Taking in advance safety and health” type
Don’t learn safety by accident

(4) The origin of safety management is respect for human life. Always keep in mind the respect for human life If people do so. They will not leave any Potential hazard in the work place, even when it is slight one. Safety and health management originated from this thinking. If it is lacking, any safety measures are apt to be done perfunctorily.
Three Prohibited words to be taken by heart concerning accident potential 1. Working will end in short while 2. Being a slight one 3. We have not experienced any accident in this operation or facility for a long time. “ If people behave to pick up a dropped nail immediately upon its finding no accident will occur at the workplace concerned ”
Way of Safety Management For systematic promotion of safety and health activity, the following matters shall be considered: 1. To set up the safety policy by the top management; 2. To make clear the responsibilities for accident prevention; 3. To perform the peculiar duties perfectly and to maintain close cooperation with each other; 4. To frame and promote the accident prevention program.
3. System for promotion of safety and health program Manager Managerial personnel

3. Problems seen in the latest situation of accident occurrence.
(1) Old problems (2) Same type of accidents are repeated (3) The difference between the large scaled enterprises and medium and small scaled comes in the field of accident prevention. (4) High accident rates in the so called out door labor typed industries
(2) New problems
Occurrence of new type accidents with the progress of production technique. Increase of the accident in the third industry in connection with the progress of the service economization. Insufficient safety and health countermeasures
Safety Management in the Future Establishment of Safety Assessment Principle of Safety assessment (1) To examine the new processes, facilities, materials etc. from the standpoint of safety and health at the stage of planning of these new projects. (2) To eliminate the hazards or harmful conditions by adopting alternative safe way etc.
