If I were self-employed by Stephanie Yeo

Workplace safety and health would be important to me as a self-employed person because there would be no one else responsible for any accidents or anyone to blame other than myself. Being self-employed means that I am not covered by any company nor affiliations. If I get badly injured or expose myself to high-risk situations, no insurance company would want to let me claim the benefit of my policies, nor would anyone be willing to help fund any of my hospital fees. As the self-employed, I am required to take measures on my own to ensure my own health and safety in the workplace or to anyone who may be affected by it. In the short-term, it may seem as a minor convenience but in the long run, workplace safety and health plays a major role if I do not take any initiative to assure myself and other people who are concern for my safety that I am able to handle and manage by myself. It can also affect my reputation and any potential clients that may want to work with me.

For instance, if my line of work is in the IT industry and I work from home, I need to ensure that my work space does not have overloaded extension cables or any old/worn wiring. This would prevent any electrical fires or overheating of equipment that will result in anything detrimental.

As a self-employed person, I will need to ensure that I have emergency contacts in case of any incidents where I am unable to do anything. Workplace safety and health is important as it affects not only myself, but it affects those who are close to me as well. Ensuring that I put my safety first instead of my work is the most vital part of being self-employed. Therefore, workplace safety and health is important if I were self-employed.

I realised that accidents can happen at any point in time, no matter how many precautions I take or measures that are implemented. Safety is of the utmost importance and that I should be very aware of what happens in my workplace as it affects everyone around me.

Next time I will try out being more self-aware and take the precautions that I have mentioned in my post to be able to minimise any workplace accidents that may occur.

If i am his employer by Shi JiaLiang.

workplace safety and health are important because that i would not want the same thing to happen to other workers as to lost one of their arms. All the workers desire to work in a safe and protected atmosphere, i would wise injuries could be prevented. For the well-being of all the worker, safety makes them all enjoy their work and is confident to work for the company. This will benefit both the company and the worker. Ensuring the health of the worker also helps the company to stay productive and competitive.The quality of the product is also maintained at a good standard and not lowered, and this is what the customer looking for when they choose their goods and service. It could also affect the mood of the workers, if accident rate of a company is high ,people will not be willing to work for them or they may need to pay a higher cost in insurance for worker to be confident in work. This will makes the company to lose out on manpower and finance ,also its reputation and good faith on customer or even working partner. It is a duty and moral responsibility of the company to look after the employee’s protection. At the same time the employer could also feel for themselves to return home safely form work without the love ones receiving calls for hospital. Job-related injuries are something that responsible employers avoids. They take the time and use company resources to make sure that the people who come to work each day are safe.It ensures the loyalty of the worker . To prevent the worst that could happen employer does also play a part .Workers want to do their jobs in a safe environment so that they can concentrate on doing the best job possible. In addition, machines could be also be maintain in good states if no injures happened .This prevent property loss as accident machines will usually not be used again after the accident or needed extra repair before putting in use again.

I realized that any accident is sad have should be avoided every party is involved in ensuring that accident would not happened. We should learnt from the past experience to ensure that things does not happened again. A right mindset should the implement to all to sure safety.

Next time i will try out to communicate more with the worker and supervisor to ensure them that their working environment is safe and they are equip with the right mindset to be safe. Make sure that at least briefing is conducted at the start of the day to make everyone to understand the risk beside them and how to protect themselves.
