Health and Safety Definition and Meaning

Health can be defined as "Protection of bodies and minds of people from illness resulting from materials, processes or procedures used in the workplace." It means we enjoy freedom from disease or infirmity.

Safety is the feeling of security which means we can work without fear of danger or injury.
It can be defined as "The condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger or injury".

Welfare is the provision of facilities for the well being of workers. Welfare facilities may include provision of first aid station, clean drinking water, food, rest room and sanitation facilities.

Note:
The borderline between health and safety is ill-defined and the two terms are normally used together to indicate the concern for the physical and mental well being of the individual at the place of work.
