Accidents just happen or do they?
CC--55--5353 John FitzGerald (2006) John FitzGerald (2006)
1414
Accidents are caused by either Unsafe Acts or by UnsafeConditions.
Research shows that 85% of accidents are caused by
Unsafe Acts the human factor. However, 85% of the Unsafe Conditions are themselves
caused by Unsafe Acts.
So Unsafe Acts are the cause of 97% of accidents[Calculated as [85% + (85% x 15%)]
As people cause accidents WE CAN AVOID THEM!
70%of accidentsare readily
avoidable[IOSH (UK)]

Precautions: The Law Requires
CC--55--087087 John FitzGerald (2006) John FitzGerald (2006)
3939
The standard of precaution required by Law is that one must doEVERYTHING THAT IS REASONABLY PRACTICABLE TO REDUCERISK
The 2005 Act defines this as meaning that an employer has
exercised all due care by putting in place the necessary protective andpreventive measures, having identified the hazards and assessed therisks to safety and health likely to result in accidents or injury to healthat the place of work concerned and,
where the putting in place ofany further measures is grosslydisproportionate having regard to the unusual, unforeseeable andexceptional nature of any circumstance or occurrence that may result inan accident at work or injury to health at that place of work.
In a nutshell:Any remaining risk is tiny compared to thecost/effort of averting it.

Hazards vs. Risks
CC--55--087087 John FitzGerald (2006) John FitzGerald (2006)
5252
The two are frequently confused people talk of trip hazards yet atrip is a risk!
A HAZARD is defined as:Anything that can cause harm to persons (*)
For Hazards think Severity
Conditions Circumstances
A RISKis defined as: The likelihood that someone will be harmed by ahazard
For Risks think Likelihood &,
Consequence
(*) Hazards can be defined so as to include harm to property and theenvironment, as is common in the UK, but not in Ireland.

Hazard Categories
CC--55--087087 John FitzGerald (2006) John FitzGerald (2006)

The concept of hazard categories is quiteinformal, but useful in organizing our thoughtswhen preparing a list of hazards. Physical Hazards manual handling, working at
height, etcHealth Hazards noise, dust, lighting, etc.Chemical Hazards fire, explosion, respiratory,
sensitisation, toxicity, etc.
Biological Hazards viruses, bacteria, organicwaste, etc.
Human Hazards new staff, young persons, disabled,pregnant staff, assault, bullying, etc.
