It is hard to find an accident that could not have been prevented.
Although it is often difficult to foresee every unsafe condition or potential hazard - training, constant vigilance and hazard awareness can prevent the vast majority of incidents and fatalities.
One way to recognize hazards and to raise safety awareness is to research past incidents and teach others about the factors that could have caused each accident.
Leaders in safety and risk management must impress workers that safety is more than just compliance - it is a personal responsibility. That is why toolbox talks and safety meetings must be held to help remind everybody - every day - that simple hazards cannot be ignored or taken for granted.
The health and safety of every worker depends on effective safety training and constant hazard awareness. Safety is a value that should be incorporated into every task.
In this short video we discuss a fatal accident that actually occurred in a workplace, and relate the factors and events that may have led to the worker getting killed.
Safety is important - it only takes a few seconds to turn an normal day into a life-altering crisis. Stay alert and stay safe.
