Basic Safety Terminologies

This document provides an overview of safety terminology used in accident prevention. Key terms discussed include accidents, incidents, threshold limit value, safety, control, hazards, risk, unsafe acts, and unsafe conditions. Accidents are defined as undesired events that result in harm, damage, or loss. Incidents are undesired events that could have resulted in harm under different circumstances. Threshold limit value refers to the maximum point at which a person, structure, or object can withstand forces or energies without negative effects. The document also discusses hazard control measures like engineering controls, administrative controls, work procedures, and personal protective equipment. It outlines the relationship between accidents, hazards, unsafe acts, and unsafe conditions. The goal of safety is to control recognized
