What Can Cause a Workplace Accident?

There are numerous reasons for workplace accidents, and the Houston work accident lawyers at Richard J. Plezia and Associates have condensed the list to these seven:

1. Neglecting Safety Procedures. Ignoring workplace safety rules is a top reason for workplace accidents. OSHA gives employees the right to a safe workplace.
2. Lack of Preparation. Failing to think through a task can lead to failed preparation for work conditions, equipment needs, and safety precautions.
3. Taking Shortcuts. Work procedures are written with employee safety in mind. Taking shortcuts to save time can increase the risk for an accident.
4. Distractions. Jobs in maritime, offshore, and industrial facilities are physically and mentally demanding. Distractions take away from the concentration needed to do a task without causing a workplace accident.
5. Unsafe Working Condition. Workplace accident data shows that a clean, well-kept, and uncluttered work environment reduces accident risk.
6. Failure to Train Employees. New employees are a welcome sight for busy, overworked crews. However, rushing new hires onto the job without proper training is dangerous.
7. Human Error. Machines that make mistakes are repaired and restarted. But human error can be dangerous. Pair human error with negligence and the chances of a workplace accident will skyrocket.
