Safety Consciousness

        Safety in its simplest definition is being free from danger. Danger that has to do with damage, loss of life and properties.
        I say Safety begins with every individual so as to make life worthwhile and meaningful. There are certain things(activities /actions)  we embark on without considering safety and this may be dentrimental to our lives and environment.
        For you to climb the stairs without slipping, light the gas cooker without exploding, purchase petrol in your vehicle without fire incident, slice the ingredients without cutting your hands, building structures without collapsing,etc is all because safety is built in them. Hence safety becomes paramount to our everyday life. We shall see ABC of safety in ensuring humans and its immediate environment is safe.
        A- Always
        B- Be
        C- Careful
        When we become conscious of this fact, it helps us to stay safe. For instance :
-if one must drink, don't drive
- if one must smoke cigarettes,then not in highly inflammable areas like gas stations
- if one must be free from HIV/AIDS, abstain from sex or avoid sharing sharp objects
- if one must build a structure, then use the right materials in the right proportion
- if one must eat, don't talk
- if one must be distracted, don't work using rotating devices or machines etc
         All these factors and many more are potential hazards i.e hazard or accident waiting to happen. This bring us to the other part DEFS
        D- Don't
        E- Ever
        F- Forget
        S- Safety
       Putting into practice the two parts above will in its own little way help the world at large become a better place.
