Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
An accident is mishap or the action of object equipment or man to machine some injuries to persons, damage to machines, tools equipment which result of cost of production target. In other words, an accident is a occurrence which occurs without planning or expectedly. It can also be regarded as an unintended and sudden occurrence which causes damages hurt and cost of life and materials in an organization.
In other hand industrials accident can said to be an accident which occurs in an industrial environment (factory or organization), unexpectedly which causes permanent injuries and in some cases may result to death of an employee and human being in general. A mishap and sudden occurrence in an industrial site causing cost and hurt to materials equipment and man is an organization. E.g a permanent or temporal injury sustained process chemical explosion leading to fire accident hurt on human body resulting from effects of chemical of any types and some fires fall of product/ materials at the process of production etc.
As a result of various accidents in our industrials firms and factories safety practices and rules in an organization are paramount and levels the priority attention of the operational management if firms.
