[sound] There is no “safety work†if...

In our daily security operations, we often hear phrases like “if only…â€â€”like, “If only I had worn a helmet, I wouldn’t have been injured,†or “If only the procedure was followed, this accident wouldn’t have happened.†These kinds of reflections are common after incidents. In fact, many of the typical accidents shown in safety training videos were caused by negligence and lack of responsibility. The truth behind these incidents reminds us that there is no room for “if†when it comes to safety—it’s about consequences, and sometimes severe ones. When managers analyze an incident, they often sigh, “If only I had thought about it,†or “I didn’t expect this,†but such regrets don’t help prevent future problems.
So why do habitual violations keep happening? Why do we only regret things after they’re too late? The answer lies in the root causes of each incident. Before every accident, there are usually warning signs and hidden dangers. If these are ignored, the result is inevitable. Many accidents occur because people are complacent about safety and take chances, believing that nothing bad will happen to them.
This shows that safety isn’t something that can be taken lightly. It’s embedded in every small action and requires constant attention from everyone. First-line workers must take ownership of their responsibilities, fully understand operating procedures and safety protocols, and develop good habits that ensure “no harm to others, no harm to oneself, and no harm by others.†Ultimately, they should internalize the mindset of “I want to be safe.â€
We all know that safety is the foundation of production, a key factor for business growth, and a crucial element in achieving economic and social benefits. The core of safety management is prevention, and effective management must involve foresight and planning. Safety work is like a circle with no beginning or end—only commas, not periods. It’s an ongoing process that never truly stops. Hazards are always present, and we must embed the awareness of risk into our daily routines. A proactive attitude and vigilance are essential; we must never let our guard down.
In short, safety isn’t just a quick fix—it’s an ongoing test that never ends. Shifting the focus from “accident accountability†to “hidden risk accountability†is crucial. We need to pay close attention to system implementation, strengthen the red line awareness, and prevent incidents before they escalate. Only then can we truly create a safer environment for everyone.
