Pros And Cons Of Unsafe Act
Regardless of the statistical model you use, unsafe acts lead to injury. In fact, one statistical model states for every 300,000 unsafe acts there will be 3,000 near misses, 300 recordable injuries, and one death. Unfortunately it’s the little things in safety that account for many of the unsafe acts. A few examples in the workplace include:
1. Not wearing your safety glasses when going to the time clock from your locker.
2. Not tucking in your shirt tail or drawstrings. Not buttoning, snapping, or zipping your coat/sweater at the bottom to prevent the ends from swinging about.
3. Not wearing hearing protection properly.
4. Forgetting to take off a piece of jewelry.
5. Texting and walking.
6. Rushing.
