Making sound choices about controlling risks to safety should be an integral part of life, whether at home, at work, on the road or engaged in leisure and recreational activities. In this sense, safety should not be seen as a restraint but an enabler, and thus something to try to practise every day. In reality, however, people’s approach to safety is often patchy and compartmentalised. For example, there is much more concern about “stranger danger” for children than about much bigger risks, like those associated with road traffic or handling hot liquids in the kitchen.
Safety at home and at leisure is still seen by many employers to be completely separate from safety at work; “sensible safety”, however, ought to be a way of life, not something that depends on time and place.
