safety-intervention

Safety intervention is a structured set of deliberate actions deployed to reduce, control, or eliminate hazards and prevent incidents before they materialize. Its parameters are: (1) a identified hazard or risk scenario, (2) a chosen control measure drawn from a hierarchy of effectiveness (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, personal protective equipment), and (3) an implementation pathway through organizational procedures. It persists through written protocols, training programs, enforcement mechanisms, and periodic review cycles embedded in organizational practice. The intervention is distinguished from spontaneous reaction by its planned nature and from routine operations by its specific focus on hazard reduction.
