Accident Defination

An accident is any unforeseen or unexpected event that may or may not result in injury or damage to property or equipment.

The ultimate goal in accident prevention is "zero" disabling injuries and no lost work-time. However, there are many barriers to achieving this goal, the most important of which is the human attitude. Most people feel that "it won't happen to me" or "it couldn't happen here." You can do more to protect yourself and your fellow worker by constantly thinking and practicing accident prevention than you can by memorizing all of the rules, regulations, and safeguards ever written or invented. You must THINK before you act.
This manual contains some practical and useful safety guidelines to serve as habits and rules that will help you to achieve a safer attitude and a safer work environment
