Preventable Accident: Nudging into Safety and Health

Accidents are defined as unplanned occurrences that result in injuries, fatalities, loss of production or damage to property and assets. Preventing accidents is extremely difficult in the absence of an understanding of the causes of accidents. Nobody wants to get injured or ill health while at work. Workers working in the workplace always want to stay healthy every day; they want to get paid to support families. Employers want to have healthy workers as their invaluable asset to increase productivity, to stay in business, and, optimally, to make profits. The country needs skilled and productive human capital for the stable and sustainable industries in order to spur the economy.
