Study Notes

Risk Reduction

Loss prevention is a type of risk reduction.
Four basic categories of loss prevention include:
- Preconditions for losses (e.g., faulty wiring).
- Preventing losses; loss-preventing devices (e.g., cut-off switches).
- Early detection of loss-causing events (e.g., sprinkler systems).
- Limiting the extent of losses (e.g., fire doors, compartmentalization).
Hazard: a condition or circumstance that can cause injury, illness, or death.
Incident: an event where a work-related injury, illness, or fatality occurs.
Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS): a set of interconnected elements to support occupational health and safety goals.
Risk: estimation of the likelihood and severity of hazardous events or exposures.
