Avoid Common Accident Causes

ecistaff — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:49:51 +0000

Did you know that 80 out of 100 accidents are the fault of the person involved in the accident? Accidents can happen for a number of different reasons. It is important to understand the real cause of the accident when it occurs. Often times the real cause of the accident is one of the following reasons.

Taking Shortcuts: Shortcuts can save us time, but by not performing a job task properly we can put ourselves at risk for serious injury.

Being Over Confident: Having the attitude that an accident will never happen to you can lead to misuse of tools and improper procedures.

Incomplete Instructions: If you are new at a job task ask for complete instructions for the task. Ask questions so you fully understand each step.

Poor Housekeeping: Poor housekeeping creates hazards of all types. Be sure your work area is well maintained and clear of any potential hazards.

Ignoring Safety Procedures: Purposely failing to observe safety procedures can endanger you and those around you. Follow all safety procedures while on the job.

Mental Distractions: Worrying about things unrelated to your job can be extremely hazardous. Keep your mind on your job and make safety a priority.
