Errors and Accidents

Errors are mistakes made by individuals, such as misjudging a situation or choosing the wrong action, often due to lack of knowledge, fatigue, or distraction. Accidents are unexpected events that result in harm or damage, often caused by errors, system failures, or external factors. While errors are human mistakes, accidents are the outcomes that occur when errors or other issues lead to unsafe situations. Both concepts highlight the importance of awareness, proper procedures, and safety measures to prevent harm and improve overall safety.
