There is a Maxim that 'If you think safety is expensive try accident.' The cost of accident is unarguably enormous. But most times the cost of observing safety can outweigh profit making. The core mandate of every business is to make profit. To achieve safety at a low cost is the best option. This can be achieved by an Internal Regulatory Mechanism. First safety policy/manual is drafted for the organization. Safety roles are shared among managers and line foremen. Safety committee is setup. And an external safety consultant is engaged for technical aspects.

In ur opinion, u think safety is more expensive than accidents? Have u tot of
1 Loss of man hour
2 compensation payments
3 reducing or killing morals of workers
4 incapacitation or fatalities dat cld result from d accidents,
Accidents are caused and dey can be prevented and safety should be encouraged at all times.
I'm a ssafety officer and I know what I'm saying.

And for u to think dat making money is more important than d lives and safety of ur workers and properties and equipments is wrong.
Imagine u workin in a factory and a preventable accident occurs and ur hand is amputated. How will ur wife and family feel?
We africans value money to the detriment of our lives.
Accidents are caussed, they can be avoided and prevented.

I equally know what you are talking about. Looking at all the essentials of safety, The engineering control, the environmental control, and the personal protection, i'm proposing that there should be optimising on the cost of achieving safety such that there should be a trade off being safety and profitability.
