definition v1 of safety-instruction

Safety-instruction is the human-made practice of delivering focused, task-relevant safety knowledge to individuals or teams before or during work. Its parameters are: (1) audience specificity — directed at people about to perform or currently performing particular tasks; (2) temporal proximity — delivered immediately before or during the relevant activity; (3) content specificity — covers particular hazards, controls, and procedures for the task at hand, not general safety awareness; (4) format brevity — typically short, verbal or visual, designed for immediate comprehension and application. It persists through documented briefings, checklists, posted procedures, and oral tradition in shift-based work. Safety-instruction differs from safety-training (broader, curriculum-based, often periodic) in its just-in-time, task-embedded character.
