behind any occupational health and safety program should be the control
of hazards. Any program without the control of hazards at its core is doomed

strategies presented which can be used in all workplaces to address the
control of hazards. (13 Minutes)

SAFETY PRINCIPLES — This video program will establish the two
basic safety principles which are a foundation of an excellent safety program.

prevented, 2) each employee has the responsibility to work safely. These
principles are derived from years of experience which show that personal
injuries are greatly reduced when each employee accepts responsibility
for working safely and that studies of industrial injuries prove that over
90 percent of all injuries are caused by the unsafe acts of people, not
equipment malfunction or chance. (7 Minutes)

rules and procedures, 5) be alert for changing or unusual conditions, 6)
leave the job in a safe condition. (7 Minutes)
