safety procedure
Harm prevention method
A safety procedure is a set of steps designed to prevent injury, damage, or other harm in a specific situation.
Workplaces have safety procedures for operating machinery, handling chemicals, or responding to emergencies.
The safety procedure requires two people for any lift over fifty pounds.
Following established safety procedures reduces risk; ignoring them invites accidents and liability.
