Preventing Accidents

Introduction

Accidents can occur in all kinds of working environments and many lead to injuries. It is very important for managers, and others responsible for safety in the work place, to understand how to recognise potential hazards and deal with them before they lead to accidents.

Preventing Accidents gives employees a good understanding of what hazards are and how to identify and control them. All businesses will benefit from managers who can anticipate accidents before they happen, safer staff and a better health and safety record.
