Within any workplace setting, injuries may happen. Employers should implement an Accident Prevention Program and train employees to reduce the chances of injury for the following reasons:
- Help reduce injuries/accidents
- Identify hazards before they cause accidents
- Ensure employees are properly trained to understand safety rules and proper procedures
- Proper handling of an accident upon occurrence
An accident prevention program can help reduce the number of workplace accidents and lower the experience mod, ultimately reducing the employer's cost. See the example below.
