Can there be such a thing in construction? Most construction workers are in a job where danger is inherrently dangerous. There are things than we can do to reduce the risk of getting hurt at work, but I cannot see where hazards can be totally eliminated.
Take for example a guy building scaffold. The danger is falling from heights. Sure you can reduce the risk of falling by implementing rules like wearing fall protection gear, but the fact of the matter is that the guy must still climb the scaffold.
Does "Zero Accident Culture" mean that employees are constantly aware of the possibility of getting hurt? This plays a large part of it, but is not the entire answer. We are only human, and while multi-tasking is becoming the norm, it can be hard to do in a hostile environment.
Do we accept that there will be people getting hurt, and just try to minimize the severity of the injury?
