Safety and Maintenance

The desire to be safe and secure has always been an intimate part of human nature since the dawn of human history. The demand for safety and security is pursued at every location in one’s entire environment. This ranges from homes, in transit, at all premises, and indeed; in the workplace. The need for a safe working environment was first brought to light during the first decade of industrial revolution (Roland and Moriarty, 1983). Based on the knowledge acquired in the past decades, companies and labour organizations have pursued ways and means of enhancing occupational safety. Since 1950, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have had a common definition of occupational health and safety. This definition was adopted by the Joint ILO/WHO Committee on Occupational Health at its First Session (1950) and revised at its 12th Session (1995):
