Why Talk About Safety (part 2...)

Safety as said in part 1 helps maximize the fiscal imperative ie money maximization. So in this part 2, i am asking who wants wahala? 

Wahala is a slogan in Nigeria meaning trouble. so who wants trouble?

Let us imagine a scenario of a very hardworking and productive young man in a production company without safety process. he works on a rolling mill every now and then, he is used to it. In short the rolling mill can be said it is his companion. He does not switch off this rolling mill everytime he wants to clean it.he has always been successful doing this. But on this faithful day, it went the other way.

Alas,while doing same routine and he was not kitted on his personnal protective equipment (PPE we talk about that as we go on) he lost all his fingers while cleaning the machine. there was panicking in the company, production was stalled, everyone running helter skelter, eventually, the company was closed for that day due to that incident.Later, there now arise the matter of insurance claim which lead to legal matter.This is what i meant by wahala.

If safety process has been in place, he will never have cleaned the rolling mill while its working. the message of him been the priority will stick to his brain and he would not have done that unsafe act.

If safety process was in place, it will lead to less or no insurance claim, legal issues and also the company will still be productive (fiscal imperative) for that day.

That was why i said who wants wahala?

Have a safe working day!
