| Abstract | The movement for improved workplace safety and the desire for creating more effective injury prevention initiatives have evolved over the past century. The results are evident as injury and fatality rates in the US have declined significantly, and especially since World War II. As recent as the 1980’s most safety initiatives focused on prevention utilizing the 3 E’s of engineering, enforcement and education. Employers who embraced these fundamental elements showed marked improvement. Safety was considered in facility and equipment design, the design of work procedures and work systems, training of workers, and through adherence to proper safe work procedures. Hazard identification, job safety analyses, hazard control procedures, machine guarding, measuring and monitoring environmental contaminants, job instruction training, personal protective equipment, safety inspections, incident investigations, and more were all part of a well-rounded safety program. |
