  • Title: Industrial accidents and their prevention.
    Author: Fraser GM.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1980 Feb; 9(2):79-83. PubMed ID: 7362535.
    Abstract:
    Accident prevention is a task for all sections of the community; it should be part of the industrial process and not separated. It depends primarily on attitudes, communication and industrial relations. Money spent by management on safety is necessary, but it is not the only prerequisite. In the framework of workmen's compensation legislation where payment of lump sums for injury is the philosophy, the disability of the worker is the predominant factor. This is a negative attitude and early rehabilitation with the assessment of the worker's ability to perform is closely allied to accident prevention.
