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.

What is the difference between safety and security?

Safety

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

Security

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

Security Vs Safety

So, what is the difference ?

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

Safety Vs Security

Safety Vs Security

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.

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.

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.

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.
