Accidents
Presented by: Nika Atag
What is Accident?
-An accident is an unintended, normally unwanted

event that was not directly caused by humans. The
term accident implies that nobody should be blamed,
but the event may have been caused by unrecognized
or unaddressed risks
What Is a Workplace Accident?
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
frequently called OSHA for short, has a succinct
definition for a workplace accident. It's an
''unplanned event that results in personal injury or
property damage.''
02. Types of Accidents
Types of Accident
• Accidents at Work
You may have been involved in an accident whilst at work. This may include accidents
due to faulty machinery or equipment, lack of training or supervision, lack of protective
safety equipment or unsafe premises. Employers must provide a safe working
environment and failure to do so leaves the employer liable to compensate any employee
who suffers an injury in the workplace.
• Slip/Trip Claims (public liability)
You may have suffered an injury on a public footpath or road due to its poor condition.
You may have been slipped or tripped in a shop, restaurant or other public place.
• Industrial Diseases and Illnesses
These are usually caused by the conditions in your working environment such as dust or
fumes and through working with hazardous substances.
Types of Workplace Accidents
• Overexertion: We do it all the time: pull a bookcase, carry heavy equipment or lift
awkward boxes. Injuries from overexertion, such as sprains and strains, are the leading
workplace accident.
• Falling: Just like in our opening example, falling presents a significant risk in many
work environments. It could be as simple as falling down stairs or tumbling off a roof.
• Slips and trips: Have you ever seen the image of someone slipping on a banana peel? It's
the same idea (probably minus the banana). Slips and trips can be the culprit behind
things like muscle strains and other injuries.
• Falling objects: Whether it's a heavy box of files or a piece of machinery at a
construction site, falling objects present a particular risk of head injuries to workers.
• Repetitive motion: It's a little less obvious, but repetitive motion injuries have an impact
on many types of workers, from frequent computer users who struggle with carpal
tunnel syndrome to auto mechanics who develop chronic back pain.

COST OF ACCIDENT
Presented by: Hansel Villarias
COST OF ACCIDENT
Once an accident happens, money must be
spent for medical expenses of the injured
worker/workers, insurance premiums and, in
some cases, for penalty and litigation expenses.
Companies also spend huge amounts to replace
damaged equipment and wasted raw materials.
These are what we consider as the direct costs
of accidents. But these are just the tip of the
iceberg.
The larger and more dangerous part of the
iceberg however is the part that lies beneath the
water. This represents the indirect costs of an
accident which have a more damaging impact
to the worker, their families, the company, and
the community in general.

- Having a bad day at home and
worrying about it at work is a
hazardous combination.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO UNSAFE ACTS AND
CONDITIONS
Presented by: Adriel Austria Tomas
AN EFFICIENT WORK
• People are the most
important asset in any
organization. The health and
safety of individuals not only
affects the quality of life
while at work, but also the
lives and standard of living
of the family and community.
There is, thus, a need to
safeguard the health and
safety of the individual in
respect of possible exposure
to any occupational hazards.
Unsafe Conditions
Some examples of unsafe conditions are:

Conclusion
The most effective way to protect the people who work for a company
is by reducing the work-related accidents. The first area to look at
should be the elimination of all unsafe conditions in the factory.
Regular Audits need to be conducted to identify the unsafe conditions
and repairs prioritized and then implemented. This will show the
employees that the company is serious about their well-being while
they are at work.
Unsafe acts account for approximately 80% of all industrial accidents.
This is always dealt with unsafe conditions as planning to train the
employees in how to act safely is necessary. However, this is not the
end as people all make mistakes and accidents will continue to occur.
Thus, the full health and safety program is an on-going one with
continuous improvement taking place.
