Module 17: Off-the-Job Safety

What is Off-the-Job Safety?

Off-the-Job Safety is the logical extension
of the Occupational Safety and Health Prevention. It
is considered by some safety professionals to be
the frontier when it comes to affecting change in a
worker’s safety beliefs and behaviors. On the face

of it, off-the-job safety simply is getting employees
to expand their on-the-job safety mindedness
everywhere else.
