A preventable collision is an accident that could have been avoided if proper precautions or actions had been taken. These accidents are typically caused by human error, such as distracted driving, speeding, or disobeying traffic laws. Identifying preventable collisions is important for improving road safety and reducing the number of accidents.
A recordable preventable accident is an unexpected event that could have been prevented with proper preparation and forethought, and that has now resulted in an injury severe enough to meet the OSHA requirement that is be included in the Form 300 record of accidents and injuries.Of course, some professionals assert that all "accidents" are preventable, and others say there is no such thing as an accident as that term implies it snuck up on you like an act of God.
If everyone drive exactly as is recommended and follow all of the rules of the roads, accidents would decrease to a very low level but there would never be a time that there would be no accidents. But I am going to say that more than 50% of car crashes could be prevented just by drivers following the laws and rules.
Yes. The theory is simply that accidents are foreseeable and thus preventable. Therefore they are not accidents at all. The term collision more aptly describes the outcome. For an old law enforcement war horse, it seems to be a lot of minutia.
