Accident prevention is the systematic identification and control of hazards to reduce the likelihood and severity of incidents that could cause injury, illness, or damage.
It combines risk assessment with measures such as separating pedestrians from vehicles, maintaining equipment, setting appropriate operating rules, and checking that controls remain effective. Near-miss reports and observations help identify weaknesses before harm occurs.
