 General Principles of Accident

Prevention

March 11, 2024 7

 IVRCL INFRASTRUCTURE & PROJECTS LTD

Hazard – Potential to cause harm

 Hazard: A danger, usually in the form of energy
(unsafe behavior or condition) which has the
potential to lead to an incident or accident.
 Eg: Mechanical - Unguarded machinery
 Electrical - Damaged electrical cable
 Physical - Working at height with out
Safety Harness
 Chemical – Leakage of containers
 Radiation - Use of source with out
safeguards
 Hazards if NOT eliminated has the potential to
cause Accidents

What is an accident / Incident and Near Miss

 Accident/ Incident: is an unplanned, unexpected &

undesired event that results in personal injury or
damage to property / environment or third party(ies).
 Near-Miss: is an incident which potentially could have
caused injury or occupational illness and/or
damage(loss) to people, assets the environment,third
party or reputation.
 Note: Near Misses must be reported as valuable
lessons can be learnt from them to prevent
reoccurrence which otherwise may lead to real
injury and/or damage(loss).

injuries and 300 Near-miss incidents/no injury.
 Recent studies indicate for each serious result there are 59 minor
and 600 near-misses.
