A Compendium of Hazard and Risk Knowledge + HSE Terminology

An indispensable resource for anyone who needs to know the vital terms used by HSE practitioners when communicating occupational health, safety and environment issues.

That liquid spill on your factory floor – is it an incident, an accident or a hazardous event? The question might seem a bit nonsensical but each of these terms has a very specific meaning in the fi eld of health, safety and environment (HSE).

Mastering the specific terminology or jargon is key to HSE, like any area of business. In the case of HSE, however, knowing the exact meaning of terms is particularly critical because confusion over terminology can, and does, lead to dangerous situations and accidents. This is partly because many of the terms have generic wider meanings in addition to their specific HSE meaning, as suggested above, for example ‘incident’, ‘accident’, ‘event’, ‘hazard’ and even ‘bowtie’. These all have very specific meanings and if all parties aren’t using them in the same way then it’s harder to manage or even describe a potentially dangerous situation.

This alphabetical guide describes many key terms in the HSE fi eld clearly and concisely, to make sure there’s no doubt what they mean. It’s written in English that’s easy for everyone to understand because in this area there’s no room for confusion or ambiguity.

About the Author

 

Bill Taylor has lived most of his life in South Australia, either in Adelaide or on Kangaroo Island. He has also spent extended times away from Australia, including in France, where this tale was first written, and in Indonesia, particularly Bali, the location of most of the action.

He first went to Bali when tourists were a novelty and children would line up to cheer motor cyclists passing through their village. Certainly not the case now. He practised as a lawyer for much of his adult life and is now retired.

He has been married for more than fifty years to Caroline, who surely must be a saint. They have two adult children and five grandchildren.
