The emphasis is on making the employee safe for him/herself, safe for others and capable of identifying potential hazards. 'Health and Safety' takes as its starting point the fact that most accidents are attributable to a lack of knowledge or carelessness and that the key to improvement is increased awareness on everybody's part.
