In this paper the findings are presented of a multinational study involving 27 companies that have
adopted a ‘Zero Accident Vision’ (ZAV).
ZAV is the ambition that all accidents are preventable, and this paper focuses on how companies implement ZAV through ZAV commitment, safety communication, safety culture and safety learning.
