SECURITY AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT 

Safety refers to the state of being protected from harm or danger. It can also refer to measures that are taken to protect people or things from harm or to prevent accidents or other dangerous events from occurring. In a workplace setting, safety refers to the measures that are taken to protect workers from injury or illness and to prevent accidents or other dangerous events from occurring. This can include the use of protective equipment, the implementation of safety procedures and protocols, and the provision of training and education to help workers recognize and avoid potential hazards. Ensuring safety is important for the well-being of individuals and for the smooth functioning of organizations and society as a whole.

Presentation

The topic is presented step by step

Step 1: Introduction (5-10 minutes)

• Begin by introducing the topic of safety and security management and explaining why it is important to understand these concepts.
• Ask students if they have heard of these terms before and if they know what they mean.
• Write the definitions of safety and security management on the board or provide handouts with the definitions.

Step 2: Safety management (10-15 minutes)

• Begin by explaining that safety management refers to the process of identifying and evaluating potential hazards in an environment or organization and implementing measures to control those hazards to ensure the safety of people, assets, and operations.
• Provide examples of potential hazards that might be identified and controlled in the process of safety management (e.g., electrical wires, slippery floors, heavy machinery).
• Explain that safety management can include the use of protective equipment, the implementation of safety procedures and protocols, and the provision of training and education to help workers recognize and avoid potential hazards.

Step 3: Security management (10-15 minutes)

• Explain that security management refers to the process of protecting people, assets, and operations from threats such as crime, terrorism, and other intentional acts of harm.
• Provide examples of measures that might be used in security management (e.g., physical security measures such as locks and gates, cyber security measures such as firewalls and antivirus software, emergency response planning).
• Emphasize that security management is concerned with protecting against intentional threats, while safety management is concerned with protecting against accidental or unintentional hazards.

Step 4: Differences between safety and security management (10-15 minutes)

• Review the definitions and examples of safety and security management provided earlier and help students understand the key differences between the two.
• Ask students to provide additional examples of safety and security management in different contexts (e.g., in a school, in a hospital, in an office building).
• Emphasize that both safety and security management are important in different contexts and that it is important to consider both when designing systems and processes to protect people, assets, and operations.

Step 5: Evaluation and Summary (10-15 minutes)

Step 5: Review and conclusion (5-10 minutes)

• Review the key points of the presentation.
• Encourage students to ask any remaining questions.
• Conclude by summarizing the importance of understanding safety and security management and the role they play in protecting people, assets, and operations.
