Reduces and mitigates safety risks within acceptable tolerance thresholds, carefully balancing operational efficiency, time, and cost constraints, while managing residual hazards to a controllable level. Safety efforts focus on sustaining an acceptable risk profile through a systematic approach that defines safety objectives and continuously refines methods to address safety concerns. The most effective safety measures are seamlessly embedded within processes, planning, equipment, systems, and the work environment, rather than being treated as afterthoughts. Essential components of a successful organizational safety strategy include fostering a strong safety culture, routinely assessing potential hazards, periodically reviewing safety practices and outcomes, and implementing comprehensive safety controls.
