1. INTRODUCTION TO ACCIDENT PREVENTION
Safety Message:
“If you think safety is expensive, don’t reduce the safety budget
but cut the accident”
“Safety isn’t expensive. Its priceless”
“Accident prevention is the technique of anticipating and
controlling events so that accidents are eliminated and the
subsequent costs, in time and money, are avoided”

PREDICTING ACCIDENTS & INJURIES
• Traditionally, companies relied on accident and injury statistics
to tell them where to focus their safety efforts
• Today, we know environmental and behavioral workplace risks
are responsible for all accidents and injuries

DEFINITIONS
• Accident: Unplanned & undesired event
• An accident always has the potential to produce an injury or
property damage
• Does not always result in injury or property damage
• Incident: An unsafe occurrence arising of or in the course of
work
• Injury: Body impairment resulting from an accident

There are two types of workplace risks:1. Environmental risks (hazards)
i. Uneven floor surfaces
ii. Faulty or misadjusted tools and equipment
iii. Working in high places without fall protection
2. Human factor risks (work practices)
i. Failure to follow instructions of safe work procedure
ii. Cleaning, oiling, adjusting, or repairing equipment that ismoving, electrically energised or pressurised
iii. Failure to wear PPE

THE COSTS OF INJURIES AND ILLNESSES
Direct costs areoften just the tip
of the iceberg.
• Lost Wages
• Building & property damage
• Work delay & interruptions
• Workers demoralize
• Hiring, training of new employees
• Lost time by Supervisor & other
employees
• Overtime
• Medical Bills
Indirect costs can
be 50 times or
greater the direct
costs of injuries
and illnesses.

What you should know about Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses?
How can I reduce the costs of a work-related injury or illness?
1. Communication is the key. Contact all of the parties that maybe involved in an incident follow-up:
• The injured employee• Safety and Health Department
• Safety and Health Committee
• Engineering Department
• Your Superior
2. Follow the company’s Safety and Health Manual

ACCIDENT / INCIDENT REPORTING
1. Complete “Accident Form” within the shift
• Question the injured employee
• Complete all questionnaires in the accident form
• Come up with recommendations to prevent future
recurrence
• Remember the Accident Investigation is not to place blame
on the employee.
• Sign the report
• Distribute the report WITHIN 24 hour

CONTROL OF ACCIDENT CAUSES
There are three main methods utilized (from Hierarchy of RiskControl) in the control of accident causes. They are;
1. Engineering Control
2. Administrative Control
3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
7/25/2019 3 Accident Prevention Strategic
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/3-accident-prevention-strategic 25/42
HIERARCHY OF RISK CONTROL
1. Elimination
2. Substitution
3. Isolation
4. Engineering Control
5. Administrative Control
6. PPE
Start with “E”, middle with “E” and end with “E”

Environmental causes of accidents or unsafe conditions, can beeliminated through the application of engineering principles. When
an operation is mechanically and physically safe, it is unnecessary
to be as concerned about the uncertain behavior (unsafe acts) of
people. Machines are less apt to fail than men. It may be necessary
to make mechanical revision or modifications to eliminate existingunsafe conditions, and in some cases, to prevent unsafe acts.
Design of machine guards, automobile brakes, traffic signals,
pressure relief valves, and hand rails are varied examples of safety
engineering at work.

Usually accidents can be prevented through adequate safetyengineering and education. However, there are some people who
are hazards to themselves and others because of their failure to
comply with accepted safety standards. It is these persons for
whom the strict enforcement of safety practices is necessary,
backed by prompt corrective action. No organized accidentprevention effort can be successful without effective enforcement
because accidents are frequently the direct result of violations of
safety principles. This is particularly true of vehicle accidents,
many of which are caused by unsafe acts which constitute traffic
law violations. Heads of departments and supervisors areresponsible for enforcing safety standards and regulations. Failure
to do so would be condoning conduct that leads to preventable
accidents.
