What Does Safety Mean To Me
Do we ever stop to think about what safety really means to us? Well, I do and safety should always be first and should stay like that. The meaning of safety is the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, or injury. That’s a pretty common understanding of what it could mean.
Some history is that the word originates from the French circa 1300. There was an earlier relation which divided both from Middle­Latin salvitatem, and literally means "safety.” The second definition was first used in 1881. “Safety” has quite some history, but my definition has lots of meanings.
To me, safety means protecting from danger that may hurt us or endanger our lives. Unsafe practice is a great risk to life and property. For example, a two wheeler who rides recklessly not only risks his own life, but the others on roads. That’s because of their lack of knowledge about overall safety, be it “die” road. While crossing the road, you mustn’t run across in blind panic. Wait until the traffic policeman or the ‘walk’ signal appears. Even then look for some vehicle drivers who jump signals and cross “die” road with the others. So always be cautious, and someone once said, “Better a thousand times careful than once dead.”
Next, be safe at work. This is really important, because once you know the particular hazards of your job or workplace, you can take steps to reduce your risk of work­related injury or illness. Also always stay awake while working at dangerous places, for example, at fire departments. If you don’t, when you are rescuing lives in a burning house, you’ll risk your life and the people’s too. So, you need to always stay awake.
Something that happened recently over the past years is cyberbullying. Lots of kids and teens keep getting bullied online, and sometimes it can go from never leaving your home to almost committing suicide. I just feel really bad for those people, and it’s sad to hear stories about that.
Everyone is different in the world and that’s a great thing. There is no need for anyone to be getting

bullied because no one is the same, everyone is unique. Therefore, you need to extra safe on the internet. You can do this by never talking to strangers when you are social media.
As you can see, safety means a lot to me. Now you should stop and think about what it means to you. Of course, we will have different meanings, but some may be alike. One of my favorite quotes are “Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.” by William Shakespeare. What does safety mean to you?
