Description

In 80 out of every 100 accidents, it is the person involved in the accident who is at fault. This means, unsafe acts are 4 times more likely to cause an incident than unsafe conditions.

The main point to consider when trying to prevent accidents are:

  • It is people who causes accidents, not the equipment.
  • There is always an owner for every accident.
  • When an accident has happened, planning for safety is too late.

There is always room for further improvements when it comes to preventing an accident.

As part of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers are obligated to conduct risk assessments for the tasks being carried out and address any health and safety risks identified to prevent accidents in the workplace

Our accident prevention toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where high risk activities are carried out and multiple hazards are present.
