3. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs
After our most basic physical needs (air, food, water, sleep), the need for safety and security is the
second most critical stage to our wellbeing.

4. What is the difference between safety and security?

5. Safety
Safety measures are created to protect people and property from injury or loss by
circumstance, accident or negligence.

6. Security
Security measures are created to protect people and property from injury or loss by
deliberate actions taken by people.

7. Security Vs Safety
So, what is the difference ?

8. In our world, safety events
happen by accident while
security events happen on
purpose. The difference is
people and intent.
Safety Vs Security

9. Safety Vs Security

10. Safety Security
• Safety events happen by accident
• Unsafe act, unsafe conditions and
processes causes safety problems
• So many safety regulations and
organizations
• Safety is a loss-driven and
litigation-driven industry that relies
on reasonably foreseeable risks,
industry standards, guidance
documents, best practices and
absolute duty.
• Security events happen on purpose
• People cause security events
• Very few security-related
regulations
• Security is a loss-driven and
litigation-driven industry that relies
on foreseeability, industry
standards, and the real possibility
of significant economic loss.

11. Too often safety & security programmes are
viewed as overhead costs to the
organization, but that is misleading.
Safety & Security programmes are actually
money retainers for an organization.

12. Safety Vs Security
• Safety programs are actually
money retainers for an
organization. They allow the
organization to retain the dollars
that would have been lost due
to compensation pay-out, poor
morale, fines, imprisonment,
damaged reputations arising
from poor management of
reasonably foreseeable health
and safety risks
• Security programs are actually
money retainers for an
organization. They allow the
organization to retain the dollars
that would have been lost due to
turnover, poor morale, internal and
external theft and
misappropriation, sabotage,
industrial espionage, and other
deliberate actions that a sound
security program seeks to prevent.

13. Safety Vs Security
• Safety professionals require a
distinct set of skills and
knowledge with the intention of
preventing injury or loss due to
circumstance, accident, or
negligence.
• Although security is also the
prevention of injury or loss, it is
predicated on the fact that there is
a desirable asset, a motivated
person who wants that asset, and
the perception by that motivated
person that there is a lack of
guardianship over the asset. This
defense requires a very different set
of skills and experience.
