Crucial Role of Safety Experts
Safety experts
are required in almost every area of human activities.
Safety is an important issue that HR needs to take active involvement.
This was clearly demonstrated during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, where so many comments, some not so favorable, regarding the oil leakages - and revenue leakages!We human beings who are fellow travelers on this planet earth, are all concerned about the well being of our only world. Who were to blame for the BP oil spill that threatened people's livelihood, natural life, and the environment? Blaming others is a negative way of placing responsibility. In the case of the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, however, it was felt by various quarters that the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of BP and its officers. Even in countries that are far from the American continent, the tragedy in the oil spill did not go unnoticed. After all, we live in a border-less world. What happens in one place affects other people in this planet. Did you have the strange feeling that not much was done and fast during the unfortunate disaster? There were the public relations statements and words that seem to steer away from personal or corporate responsibility. But there appeared to be hopelessness in solving the big problem. Meanwhile, million gallons of crude oil escaped, poisoning the ocean, the environment and all that are in it. This clearly showed the importance of safety experts.
Where were the highly paid executives?
If a gold mine is found, there is a gold rush. Here, the crude was gushing out but some appeared to rush out of responsibility thereby delaying concrete action to stop the leak. Was money the concern? You bet. However, in capital intensive business ventures, the players need to exercise caution. They seemed caught between so many options in the course of the events. Meanwhile, there is tremendous amount of money escaping into the atmosphere then. Employees of BP were negatively affected. So was the company. We rejoice that the leak was successfully stopped. People are slowly forgetting about this incident from which we all can learn much. If your organization is involved in hazardous activities, it is important to ensure the presence of safety experts at all times. They are required under
OSHA provisions.
Meanwhile, safety experts are also required in many areas of human existence. Perhaps, road transportation is the one sphere where qualified safety is of primary importance. After all, this is where the highest number of deaths in a year occur. This is where
safety
is of paramount importance.
