Accident or Incident What is the Difference?

September 14th, 2008 · No Comments

Hello from Avon Lake, Ohio. “Accident or incident, which term is right, which term is preferred, why the difference?”  

This recent question to us is often debated throughout the world. Personally in most situations, I tend to lean towards the term “unplanned event”.  Many will also expand this debate to include preferences of near misses, close calls or near-hits. The audio podcast this week is a recording of a conversation between Terry Mathis and me discussing this topic and providing our perspective. Visit http://safetyculture.podbean.com for the audio file.

Have a great week! – Shawn Galloway, ProAct Safety
