The zero accident vision (ZAV) is an important and challenging phenomenon, with a great potential for safety improvement. The basic idea of the ZAV is that all accidents are preventable. It promotes the adoption of a high standard safety culture and a “vision zero” concept in all sectors of working life.
As there are still too many occupational accidents in the EU, the zero accident vision can be an important driver for occupational safety improvements. However, until now, only very few research has been carried out, to identify and mobilize its potential.
