Safety Principles Quiz

Study Notes

Safety principles follow a hierarchical structure, with more general principles at the top and more specific ones at the bottom:
1. General Principles: apply to all situations and industries
2. Industry-specific Principles: apply to specific industries or sectors
3. Task-specific Principles: apply to specific tasks or activities

Safety First: prioritize safety over other considerations
Prevention: prevent accidents and incidents from occurring
Risk Assessment: identify and assess potential risks and hazards
Hazard Control: implement controls to mitigate or eliminate hazards
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): use PPE as a last resort when other controls are not feasible
Training and Education: provide training and education to ensure competence and awareness
Continuous Improvement: regularly review and improve safety practices and procedures

Human Error: recognize that human error is a common cause of accidents
Human Performance: consider human capabilities and limitations when designing systems and procedures
Crew Resource Management: optimize teamwork and communication to reduce errors

Systems Thinking: consider the entire system, including interactions and interfaces
Fail-Safe Design: design systems to fail safely and minimize harm
Redundancy: use redundant systems or components to reduce risk

Safety Leadership: demonstrate a commitment to safety from top-level management
Safety Accountability: hold individuals and teams accountable for safety performance
Open Communication: encourage open and transparent communication about safety concerns
Just Culture: promote a culture of fairness and accountability, rather than blame and punishment
