{jcomments on}We have all debated the “zero accident” goal philosophy and it is often times hard for safety professionals to grasp the thought that an accident may have benefits, but they can and often times do! Now I am in NO WAY advocating we go out and work unsafely so we can have an accident; what I AM SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS is that we need to STOP viewing accidents as a poison in that we apply so much pressure to them that workers FEAR reporting them.
