Distraction Risk the Safety.....

Driving Distractions

Driving Distractions is defined as driving while doing another activity that takes your attention away from driving. The facts show that distracted driving can increase the chance of a motor vehicle crash.

Distracted driving activities include things like using a cell phone, texting and eating. Using in-vehicle technologies such as navigation systems, audio systems, and the in-dash touch screens found in many new cars and trucks also distract drivers. While any of these distractions can endanger the driver and others, texting while driving is especially dangerous because it combines all three types of distractions.

Workplace Distractions

Workplace distractions are not monitored like driving distractions, but can be just as dangerous. Talking on the phone while performing a work-related task or walking around distracts a worker’s attention from the task and could result in a damage. I realize that today workers feel that it is their right to stay connected but use it wisely to avoid dangerous situation.

Personal Distractions

Personal distractions can sometimes prevent workers from fully focusing on the job. Employees should be encouraged to bring very stressful problems to management’s attention, stressing that all discussions will be strictly confidential. Personal distractions are the most difficult types of distractions to recognize and control, because many workers will not talk about their problems, so there is no way to know the mental state of the employee.

Other Distraction

One of the major distraction to both managers and employee is the rush to get a job done. Productivity is important but pushing managers and employee to rush through the work causes pressure and a mental distraction that can cause an employee to lose focus of the dangers surrounding them or take a chance to save time. This kind of distraction is an unfortunate situation waiting to happen. Always allow for adequate time to complete the work on time.

Finally I would like to conclude by saying that take time to identify potential distractions and take action to eliminate or control them before the distraction leads to a damage.
