Any undesired, unplanned event arising out of employment which results in physical injury or damage to property, or the possibility of such injury or damage.
“Near miss” situations must also be addressed - events which did not result in injury or damage but had the potential to do so.
But thanks to OSHA, accidents in workplaces can now be avoided through their PPE, their safety guidelines and their safety training programs such as OSHA 10 and OSHA 30.
