Flashcards
Preconditions for a loss
Preconditions for a loss
Faulty wiring, poor insulation, or other issues that increase the likelihood of a loss event.
Prevention of loss
Prevention of loss
Devices designed to prevent a loss by addressing the preconditions - like a circuit breaker.
Early discovery of loss producing events
Early discovery of loss producing events
Systems that detect loss-producing events early, often in real-time, allowing for a faster response.

Study Notes
Risk Reduction
- Loss prevention is a key risk reduction strategy, categorized into four types
- Preconditions for loss (e.g., faults in premises)
- Prevention of loss (e.g., safety devices)
- Early discovery of loss-producing events (e.g., sprinklers)
- Limitation of loss (e.g., fire doors)
- Hazard: A condition or property capable of causing injury, illness, or death
- Incident: An event where work-related injury, illness, or fatality occurs (or could have)
- Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS): A system of interconnected elements supporting occupational health and safety objectives
- Risk: An estimate of a hazardous event's likelihood and the severity of the resulting injury
