Why Is Accident Prevention in the Workplace Important?
A total of 693,000 workers sustained injuries due to accidents in the workplace, according to the latest available data from the Labour Force Survey. These accidents have caused the loss of nearly 40 million working days.
Through applying accident prevention measures and adequate training, organisations can improve worker safety and reduce loss of work for employees.
About Accident Prevention in the Workplace
Accidents and injuries can occur in any work environment. While the hazards employees face may vary based on the type of operations, many of the causes of accidents are similar. These involve not having adequate safety measures in place and failing to follow established safety procedures, as well as simple rushing or corner-cutting.
This course provides users with an understanding of how such accidents occur and what they can do to help prevent them.
