Safety and Maintenance

  • Chapter
Handbook of Maintenance Management and Engineering

Abstract

The desire to be safe and secure has always been an intimate part of human nature since the dawn of human history. The demand for safety and security is pursued at every location in one’s entire environment. This ranges from homes, in transit, at all premises, and indeed; in the workplace. The need for a safe working environment was first brought to light during the first decade of industrial revolution (Roland and Moriarty, 1983). Based on the knowledge acquired in the past decades, companies and labour organizations have pursued ways and means of enhancing occupational safety. Since 1950, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have had a common definition of occupational health and safety. This definition was adopted by the Joint ILO/WHO Committee on Occupational Health at its First Session (1950) and revised at its 12th Session (1995):

“Occupational health should aim at: the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations; the prevention amongst workers of departures from health caused by their working conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment adapted to his physiological and psychological capabilities; and, to summarize, the adaptation of work to man and of each man to his job” (Source: www.wikipedia.com).
