What should safety be regarded as, rather than a routine action?

Safety should be regarded as a fundamental commitment rather than a mechanical process. Viewing safety as a mechanical process implies it is merely a series of steps to be followed without engagement or respect for the underlying principles and practices. In reality, safety encompasses a mindset, emphasizing constant awareness, preparation, and active participation in creating a secure working environment. It requires individuals to be vigilant and proactive, rather than going through the motions in a mechanized way. True safety culture involves individuals making thoughtful decisions based on understanding the risks and maintaining high standards of safety behaviors, rather than treating safety protocols as routine tasks.
