Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering Consultant Terre Haute Indiana WHY SAFETY WHAT IS SAFETY HAZARD RISK AND DANGER DESIGNER S OBLIGATION HUMAN FACTORS ERGONOMICS SUMMARY REFERENCES RECOMMENDED READING WHY SAFETY The ASME Code of Ethics says Engineers shall hold paramount the safety health and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties. This consideration is not about the first century . said The desire for safety lies over and against every great and noble enterprise. Even some 2000 years earlier the first known written law code while not specifically mentioning safety clearly implied a necessity for a builder to consider safety. The National Safety Council says Each year accidental deaths and injuries cost our society in excess of 399 billion in the United States alone. This figure includes lost wages medical outlays property damage and other expenses. The cost in human misery is incalculable. Accidents are the fifth leading cause of death. The Council believes that accidents are not just random occurrences but instead result mostly from poor planning or adverse conditions of the environments in which people live work drive and play. In our view accidents nearly always are preventable as are many illnesses. If for no other reason one should emphasize safety as a matter of enlightened selfinterest. Those who design machines and who have an interest in productivity and cost control serve their customers well if risks are at a minimum as interruptions called accidents will also be at a minimum. WHAT IS SAFETY One dictionary definition is The quality or condition of being safe freedom from danger injury or damage. Most other dictionary definitions are similar. Ham- STANDARD HANDBOOK OF MACHINE DESIGN mer says Safety is frequently defined as freedom .
