The term “safety” can refer to many different things in the scientific and technical world. Here, we will discuss safety in terms of human health and wellbeing.
There are many potential hazards that humans may be exposed to on a daily basis. It is important to be aware of these hazards and take steps to protect ourselves from them. Some common hazards include: chemicals, radiation, physical objects or substances, electrical current, temperature extremes, and biological agents.
Many people work with hazardous materials on a daily basis without incident because they have been properly trained in how to safely handle these materials. However, even with training, accidents can happen. That is why it is important for everyone to know what to do if an accident does occur. First and foremost, try to stay calm and think clearly. If you are injured, seek medical help immediately. If you are not injured but have witnessed an accident involving hazardous materials, try to contain the spill or exposure if it is safe for you to do so and contact authorities who can help clean up the situation and provide further assistance.
It is also important to be prepared for emergencies before they happen. This means having a plan in place so that you know what to do if something goes wrong. Make sure your family knows where your emergency supplies are kept and how they can be used in case of an evacuation or other emergency situation
