Accidents are predictable and preventable events caused by unsafe conditions and practices related to human failure, technological issues, or management control failures. To prevent accidents, organizations should identify hazardous areas and activities, ensure all safety devices and systems are functioning properly, make safe work procedures available and provide training to all employees, conduct inspections regularly, record and analyze all accidents and incidents, disseminate the results of analyses, and conduct both internal and external safety audits based on documentary evidence.
