HSE?

When the first time we hear this three words, lot of question will pop-up in our mind. What does it means? I am here to clarify the meaning of HSE.

For your information, H stand for HEALTH. According to Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary helath means :
(i) the condition of the body and the degree to which it is free from illness, or the state of being well;
(ii) the condition of something that changes or develops, such as an organization or system;

Next we move to S which represent SAFETY. Safety can be defined as:
(i) a state in which or a place where you are safe and not in danger or at risk

I am sure everyone familiar with 'safety first' sign right?
Being familiar with those sign is not the only way to show our concern about safety. Firstly we must understand the true meaning behind this sign before proceeding to the action.

Lets have a look what Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary define 'safety first'. "Safety first SAYING
said to mean that it is best to avoid any unnecessary risks and to act so that you stay safe"

Last alphabet is E or known as ENVIRONMENT. Environment can be classify into two:
(i) environment (SURROUNDINGS)- the conditions that you live or work in and the way that they influence how you feel or how effectively you can work;

(ii) the environment (NATURE) - the air, water and land in or on which people, animals and plants live;

Now, we already know what HSE stand for. Health Safety and Environment is a wide scope of discussion. Thats all for now, see you again in the next post :)
