Tips on Accident Prevention

“All too often some disaster is shrugged off as ‘accident’ as if this were a sufficient explanation and an adequate reason to do nothing about it. The fact is that every accident has a cause and every accident causes a loss”

-HRH The Duke of Edinburgh 1972

Every accident must be reported and investigated to establish the cause(s)

Most accidents are caused by people’s actions and omissions (Human Behaviour).

the following.

• Do you drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
• Remember Accident Prevention Is Good Business
