Website: http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3407200248.html

Summary:

Safety regulations are mandatory requirments that aim to prevent injury. Some of the safety requirments for the workplace are wearing safety glasses on the job if there is lose materials flying through the air, wearing hard hats on a construction site, and high visibility safety vests. Some safety requirments for the road are wearing seatbelts, wearing an helment on a motorcycle. There are many Safety requirments that people have to follow today so they can prevent injury as much as possible. A persons life is the most important thing while doing anything. This is the purpose of having the safety regulations and this is why they are mandatory.



Opinion:

The issues that i described, safety issues- regulations, are being taken care of really well and most people do follow the rules but there are still some people or companies out there that do not always follow the safety regulations like they should. We have policemen out there patroling the roads everyday to try and stop crime and reduce injury in pulling people over who are not wearing their seatbelts. Something that could be done is have more occupational health and safety officers on job sites more often so reduce the dangers for the workers. Police officers should also set up more road blocks and check for everyones drivers license and to make sure they are sober and are wearing their seatbelts.
