Introduction
People are most often involved in accidents as they walk 
around the workplace or when they come into contact 
with vehicles in or around the workplace. It is therefore 
important to understand the various common accident 
causes and the control strategies that can be employed 
to reduce them. Slips, trips and falls account for the 
majority of accidents to pedestrians and the more ser-
ious accidents between pedestrians and vehicles can 
often be traced back to excessive speed or other unsafe 
vehicle practices, such as lack of driver training. Many 
of the risks associated with these hazards can be signifi -
cantly reduced by an effective management system.
