In the 6 years that I have been involved with construction safety I've met many different people from different backgrounds and the majority of staff and managers I have dealt with have viewed 'health and safety' as a waste of time, unnecessary paperwork, burdensome rules and regulations and so forth. 

But it's not... 

Employees suffer injuries

Some employees die

Families are ripped apart

Your safety at your place of work is important. Your role as a company director, responsible for the safety and welfare of your employees is a weighty responsibility and must be taken seriously.

Please watch this video from the HSE... Safety matters!

The Definition of an Accident...

What is an Accident?

How would you describe what an accident is? Here are some useful definitions....

1. Oxford Dictionary

An unforeseeable event often resulting in injury.

2. British Safety Council

A management error; the result of errors or omissions on the part of management.

3. Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA)

Any deviation from the normal, the expected or the planned usually resulting in injury.

4. Frank Bird, American Exponent of ‘Total Loss Control’

An unintended or unplanned happening that may or may not result in personal injury, property damage, work process stoppage or interference, or any combination of these conditions under such circumstances that personal injury might have resulted.

5. Health and Safety Unit, University of Aston

An unexpected, unplanned event in a sequence of events that occurs through a combination of causes. It results in physical harm (injury or disease) to an individual, damage to property, business interruption or any combination of these effects.

In my opinion No.4 is the best definition. I particularly like the inclusion of
'may or may not result in personal injury'. How many accidents are never recorded or reported because no-one was injured! It is these accidents or near misses that have the potential to result in injury in the future!
